The Law Renewed for the 2nd Generation
Scott started the teaching of this book with Psalms 119 because the author of that Psalm repeated his opinion of the law. The author ‘delighted in the law,’ ‘longed for the commandments’ and panted for them like a dog would. I though this was great way to start because, I don’t know about you, but I have historically just glossed over whenever anyone talked about ‘the law’, because they seemed boring, repetitive, and not applicable to today. But after studying the pentateuch, and especially the book of Deuteronomy, I have concluded that much of the Law is applicable to todays time. Yes, there are many that I do not know where to start when attempting to apply them today, but there are equally as many that make sense in my life.
Lord, may we be excited about Your Law, and long for them because we love You. May we observe Your Law and see your heart through them and fear you as one would fear their father.
