Staying on Track with God

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 54–56
• Romans 3

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them.

Deuteronomy 5:1

Years ago, a train carrying 218 people derailed in northwestern Spain, killing 79 people and hospitalizing 66 more. The driver couldn’t explain the accident, but the video footage could and did. The train was going far too fast before it hit a deadly curve. The allowable speed limit had been created to protect everyone on board the train. Despite being a thirty-year veteran of Spain’s national rail company, however, the driver had for whatever reason ignored the speed boundary and many people lost their lives.

In Deuteronomy 5, Moses reviewed God’s original covenant boundaries for His people. Moses encouraged a new generation to regard God’s instruction as their own covenant with Him (v. 3), and then he restated the Ten Commandments (vv. 7–21). By repeating the commandments and drawing lessons from the previous generation’s disobedience, Moses invited the Israelites to be reverent, humble, and mindful of God’s faithfulness. God had made a way for His people so they wouldn’t wreck their lives or the lives of others. If they ignored His wisdom, they would do so at their own peril.

Today, as God leads us, let’s make all of Scripture our delight, counselor, and the guardrail for our lives. And as the Spirit guides us, we can keep on track within His wise protection and devote our lives wholeheartedly to Him.

Reflect & Pray

When do God’s boundaries seem strict, rather than liberating? How do His boundaries show His love for you?

Dear God, help me to show my love for You through my obedience to You.

Good evening, Pro...still horribly hot?

[lightman]

WOW...she found urban law enforcement too tame and re-upped!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a nice, relaxing weekend and all your ducks are in a row for the coming week.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...I thought that was interesting as well.

More rain?

[PROCON]

We’re 10-12 degrees below normal because of Gorebal warming.

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Jet Jaguar]

Very nice job!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

It’s been a bit of a dreary day up there but the sun’s finally decided to break out. Still looks a little cloudy over your way but maybe you’ll get some sunshine before long.

It was pretty cloudy here most of the day, then it started clearing up. Now it’s mostly cloudy again. Oh well, it’s almost dark so who will notice? LOL

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Did you finish Robin’s irrigation system last weekend or was there more work to be done this weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ya gotta watch that gorebal guy...he’s weird!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope your heat isn’t too bad today.

The sun is thinking about coming out now.

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

Irrigation system is working fine and it's cooled down 10+ degrees, so it's been very pleasant. How are your temps?

Son took me out to lunch to Applebee's today for my big 72 B-Day earlier this week, chowed down on a steak and even took some home for lunch tomorrow.

How are things going for you and the kittehs?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...any improvement in the weather? Any Blue time?

How is Tippy coping with the heat with her fur coat?

[lightman]

None...so, yes, back to watering this evening.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

The “cold” front that came through shaved only a couple of degrees off the temps but the humidity is still there. It was a sauna again and it’s still a steamy 80 degrees outside.

I noticed a little sunshine on the mountainsides a few minutes ago and figured you were finally getting a dose of it. It’s been shining at the airports for a couple of hours. Slooooooow moving cloud bank.
I read it supposed to be in the 70s most of the week. ‘Bout time y’all got a little summer!
