THE WHY BEHIND THE LAW
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.
Psalms 103:7 NLT
TODAY’S THOUGHT
The NIV translates this "God revealed His ways to Moses." The Message translates it "He showed Moses how he went about his work."
The point is that the people of Israel got to see the deeds God performed--plagues, parting of the Red Sea, and manna from heaven. But Moses got to not only see the acts of God but the reason why God did what He did.
The goal is to know the why God acts. Knowing the why means we are beginning to see life from God's perspective. The Jewish leaders of Jesus' day knew the law very well, but they failed to grasp the why behind the law.
Spending time in God's Word and with God's Spirit in prayer helps to grasp the why.
Are you living from God's perspective? Can you discern the why?
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father God, I ask for the Holy Spirit to give me knowledge and wisdom. Help me to see my life from a divine perspective. I want to know the ways of God so I can understand the why.
