Some Circumstances Demand Attention To The Good Rules At Every Step<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In This Case Apply Heat Carefully<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 19:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 11:28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he said, \u2018Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/Jesus spricht:\/ Selig sind, die das Wort Gottes h\u00f6ren und bewahren.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the gifts of God are taken and reduced to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PURE FEAR and OBEDIENCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

one knows that something has gone terribly wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear, capitulation, obeying orders (regardless of their good and right application), … and in all that allowing someone else to control what one actually does …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the military perhaps it is necessary. But in life it is the sure bell toll of the death of all that is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one must remain able to love, not just fear. Fear is a resignation of one\u2019s soul. Love is the surrender of one\u2019s soul in order that one has life abundant … no matter the circumstances or hardships one faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luther was right to start his explanations with \u2018We are to fear<\/strong> and love<\/strong> God so that ….\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once love is part of the equation of one\u2019s life at every turn – and how else can one rightly respond to all the gifts God gives us though we deserve none of them, for gratitude gives birth to love for God, which gives birth to love of one\u2019s neighbour and oneself, and all creation –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

once love is part of the equation of one\u2019s life at every turn, then following the good and just commandments of God is not a capitulation but a voluntary surrender of one\u2019s life to all that is good from God, for the benefit of others, and for creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And where will that take you this day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
