Customs of the Land

Lev 17:11-18:9         9/1/2017

The best life is achieved through obedience to God’s decrees.

God loves you and wants you to be happy and successful. He takes no joy in your sorrow or your pain.

The challenge is that we have our own ideas and strategies concerning what will make us happy. Too often, these don’t lead to real happiness.

It’s a staccato droning: find something to satisfy, find something to satisfy, find something to satisfy. The veneer of temptations is itself driven by a deeper hope for satisfaction.

Augustine – a man who cultivated appetites of his own – said, “My soul is restless until it rests in You”.

A narrow path. But you can find it.
