“Teach
me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it
with my whole heart.” Psalm 119:33-34
The
entire psalm is one that speaks praise of the Law, the Lord’s statutes and
ordinances. New Testament theology seems to focus on the “curse” of the
law and what Christians don’t “have to” do rather than acknowledge the abundant
blessings derived from total and unquestioned obedience to the Lord and His
instruction.
I
wonder if the psalmist cherry-picked which laws he deemed important enough to
observe and which laws were just being “legalistic”?
Blessings,
Michael
