THE LAW OF THE LORD

"The law of the Lord is perfect"

Psalm 19

Law is the order of God, how He works, and how all His creation works.  I can know that order by observing nature, its rhythms, its seasons, its giving of life.  I can know it by reading the Bible and observing how God has related with people throughout history.  I can know it by observing Jesus and His interaction with individuals.

God put His law within His people, imprinted on their minds and engraved on their hearts.  He did this for one purpose; that His people would KNOW Him.  That they would recognize, understand, and be acquainted with Him as their God.

God is a God of perfect order and perfect harmony.  Everything and everyone, from least to greatest, has a purpose in the grand scheme of things.  When I am aligned with that scheme I will do well.

My whole person will be restored, I will be wise in my simplicity, my heart will rejoice, my eyes will be enlightened, I will be clean, righteous, and true to who I am and who God made me to be.
