God is my Spinach

 Breaking Rules

“Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands."
(Psalm78:7)

            Is the Law the Law? Do we always obey the Law?  Man's common law and the Ten Commandments are broken every day all around us. Just try driving the speed limit on a busy road, someone will pass you. Around 56 percent of people surveyed answered that it was OK to cheat on their taxes.  Have you broken a rule in the last 24 hours?

            In the seventies, there was a radar detecting device designed to warn drivers there was a police radar in the area; slangy called a fuzz buster. Millions were sold and parents got a chance to demonstrate to their children that some rules were to be ignored! Think about that! We teach by example.

The Psalmist talks about "...commanding our forefathers to teach their children." The facts are simple, we must teach our children and the best way to do that is to live a Godly example for them to follow. That is a tough order.

Thought for Today:  Let us focus this week on our habits regarding both God's and common laws. Let's think about them regarding honesty and integrity. Let's observe where we may do a better job- and patch up a few holes.
