Today's Word:
There is so much to take away from these passages that one
would not know where to even begin! The phrase that struck a chord within me was
the passage “Let us beset the just one, because He is obnoxious to us;..
Reproaches us for transgressions of the law". I think too often circumstances and behaviors that are
normal to us may not always be of the most moral in nature. Behaving justly can
be difficult and no one is free from sin.
In college I struggled with this constantly, sometimes I
felt that law and politics in some societies were not in the best interests of
humanity; of God’s people. I didn’t know what to believe! However I was in
luck, Jesus was the answer and he has set an immaculate example. Our Lord has
paid the ultimate price for our salvation and has demonstrated through love and
compassion how we must live. Doing the right thing and doing the easy thing are
not always the same. I found that
I wanted to learn to live more in the light of God and love all with the depth
and consistency God intended. That was my answer.
It is
hard to think about how much Jesus would have suffered and sacrificed for us.
When I think about this time, I feel overcome with sadness and love. I couldn’t
understand how we as humans could allow this, but I feel awe when I reflect
upon how the Lord had allowed this for us. Not only was our Lord forgiving but He also loved. That’s amazing! The Lord will confront the evildoers and aid the
just. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and the Lord redeems the lives of
his servants and those who take refuge in Him. There is nothing but love in the
arms of God and I feel so blessed to live a life so filled with this knowledge!
