COMMANDS AND PROMISES FROM OUR LORD

When Jesus gives us a command, he also gives us a way to fulfill it. We learned this on Wednesday with the verses on “do not fear.” Jesus gives us His presence in the midst of our fears. His word is our peace. He comes with His word. In today’s verses, we see commands again. The promises for its fulfillment is in the verses of the Bible. But notice this photo. The 10 Commandments also have their fulfillment in the work of the Holy Spirit. Compare Exodus with Galatians. And notice the power of the cross which gives us the heart to fulfill the law.

Prayer

Lord, forgive me for not listening. I admit that I am so busy talking and doing that I cannot hear your still, small voice of love. Your whispers of grace are best heard when I close my mouth and open my ears. Let me be bold in silence and humble in action. Amen.
