1 John 5:3 (KJV) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Securing university admission at a time was the best thing that can happen to any young person. Amanda was admitted to study law in one of the most prestigious universities in the country. She was completely overtaken and wrapped up in joy. She kept recanting in her mind how she’s now free to live as she had always dreamed.
Amanda was raised in a strict Christian home. Seeing university as the abode for reckless freedom was her entrance into the lawlessness that negatively altered the outcome of her life. She was shot and left in cold blood by her boyfriend’s rival cult group in the third year of her program.
The law (commandments) is given to place us on the path of destiny. It helps us to live in the glory that has been prepared for us. When the Lord walked as a man on earth he spoke of the thief. “He (The Lawless one) comes only that he might steal and kill then destroy. But the Lord came that we may have life, and may have it abundantly.”
There’s a path that leads to life, and a life that is full of abundance, strait and narrow it is, yet packed with wisdom and glory. It is the athletic track of the saved ones. (See Deuteronomy 4:5-8).
Go into the world today, knowing that the path of lawlessness promises everything good, yet steals the good by feeding one with all that leads to death and destruction. The commands of the Lord are not to grieve or stress us. He gives commands and law to those whom he saved and secures in love. We love God by doing that which He commands us in love(John 14:15).
Prayer: LORD, unveil my eyes that I will see wondrous things out of your law.
