“Open my eyes that I may behold
Wondrous things out of your law.”
Psalm 119:18
The law of God is
all around me. It is in every sunrise
and sunset, every change of season, every tree, plant, and flower that grows,
everything that has life has life because of the law of God. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and
the sky above proclaims His handiwork”, and that handiwork is the fruit of His
law.
According to the
Psalmist the law of the Lord is perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, and
TRUE. The law of the Lord is manifested
and fulfilled in Jesus so he is perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, and
TRUE. Everything in nature manifests the
law of God. It is what makes life grow
within everything. Human beings were
created and designed to manifest God’s law, the fruit of which is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self
control.
What stands as an
obstacle to that manifestation is the flesh with its desires and passions; our
conceit; our provoking one another, and envying one another. Our flesh is temporary, a container for the
Spirit that abides within us. “All flesh
is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the
breath of God blows on it; surely the people are grass” (Isaiah 40:4-8).
When God created
man He formed him from dust. But He
breathed within him, into his
nostrils the breath of life. That which
is within is what gives us life. That
Spirit within us is the law of God we are to strengthen, operate from, and
manifest, not the outward covering and container of the flesh.
Satan and sin
appeal to the corruptible covering and container, tempting it with desires and
passions. God and righteousness appeal
to the incorruptible Spirit and Word of
God, the true law of God within us, that will stand forever.
“Oh how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.”
“It is my Delight.”
