“Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;”

Isaiah 48:17-18 ESV

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!” Do we thinks of God’s commands as restricting or liberating? We would never give our children everything they want because somethings would harm them or not be the best for them. Please pray that we and our friends ask ourselves “why“ if we are tempted to disobey God. Please pray Robert Y.
