Psalm 119:5 “O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes.” Comment: The Hebrew word “Statutes”, Strongs# 2706 & 2710, refers to laws, ordinances and boundaries. Our lips are a boundary where we have to be careful what we say! Speak for God and speak against those who oppose God! To speak to them you have to call out their sin! A boundary or a border if crossed has consequences! Notice the American political left wants no boundaries! No borders! For the one world government coming! The laws were first carved into stone with the finger of God and given to Moses! Then the Jews would copy and carve these laws into stone and metal for public display. The political left does not want these laws displayed in public! We copy his Commandments because we want to copy God’s character! We have a copy of the Ten Commandments hanging in our living room! We get our word statue from statutes! We make copies of great American hero’s by making statues of them in public display! Notice the political left wants to tear them down and destroy them! The word statutes is also connected with legal rights and opportunities! Notice the political left wants illegal rights (gay marriage), turned into legal rights! They legalize the illegal! As hard as men tried they could never keep the Commandments! Jesus the Son of God was cut and carved up on a Cross because men failed the standard of holiness! The nail prints are in his hands! The scar of the spear in his side! The scars of the thirty nine stripes on his back! The bruises on his body were all visible at his resurrection to his disciples! At his second coming they will be visible to you! So why are the Commandments still important even though we cannot keep them? Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments! His Commandments remind us of our failures and Jesus victory over our sin! When you fall short of a Commandment give it to Jesus who fulfilled it for you by death on a Cross! We love the Commandments of God because they cost him so much to keep them for us in penalty of death for our failures! We love the love of God for us that we do not want to put him up on that Cross again! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
