Our Law

This past Sunday I was at my church listening to the sermon when the pastor said something that sparked a revelation in me. He said something about God's law and not following it. It occurred to me that when we who know the truth of God's word and yet choose to do things our own way because we feel we know better or that we need to deal with things in our way we just wrote our law. It ceases to become God's law and we create "Romi's law". (insert your own name for your own example ;-) ) When is it ever ok to write our own law? We decide that we know better than God and therefore His laws, His ways, His commandments are null and void and we take over. Wow, how presumptuous of us to think we know more than the creator of our universe. Pride is so overwhelming that is causes us to veer from God's word and make excuses for what we do, the decisions we make and the way to live our life. Thankfully we have a forgiving God that will listen to our prayers and forgives our trespasses as we should forgive others who trespass against us. Let us get over ourselves and do what is asked of us from our loving God. As hard as it may seem sometimes, He knows best and His word is above all.
