Love the law?

 Psalm119:165 "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble."

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone the new has come!"   Have you ever wondered what the appeal is of some religious cults?  Personally, I believe part of the appeal is the strong focus on good behavior and following the “rules”.  In AA we have a common goal of staying sober and behaving better than we did while actively consumed with our addiction.   It feels good to be in good behavior!! It feels “safe”, to be around people you trust are trying to do good too.   I read psalm 119 this morning and the author is full of loving Gods’ precepts.   I too love the law, when Im walking well, it feels good!   Problem is I always mess up!!    Gods word teaches us His ways. God knows our hearts.   He puts Godly desires in our hearts  and covers us with His mercy and grace as we try and fail.   I will choose to continue to embrace the comfort of walking in the laws the best  I can.   There is much safety in trying to not lie, cheat, steal, convent…..   there is even greater comfort in knowing God has given us complete forgiveness and restoration moment by moment so we can keep on keeping on.   This is the powerful gift of Jesus!!  Today, be inspired to embrace the law, it will serve as a hedge of protection for you.   Our greatest protection comes from our everlasting Father, who keeps picking us up and setting us back on the path!😇🙏❤️
