Verse:
"For
God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do"
-Romans 8:3a
(NRSV)

Thought:
Elevated
to power, the challenge is not from the outside, but from within.
Right and wrong, though defined in black and white, many times shows that it
also has gray areas as well. The letter of the law can make one person
wealthy while another poor. The spirit of the law is to treat all
alike. The spirit of the law, though it may be just, loses to the
letter.
Hear the Good News, once,
bound by the the letter of the Law, we are now freed by Christ, the Spirit
of the Law. Love God, Love one another. Justice. Spirit.
What must I do to get by. Injustice. The letter.
Christ. The Law. Where is it we will learn. Which lives
within us.
Prayer:
Oh Father, the
living law, Christ is who I have experienced. Thank You for freeing
even my. Let me free another by sharing Christ
in Your name. Thank
You Father, for all You have done in my life and all You will continue to do.
Amen.
