Feb 28 The Principles Behind the Laws

When God issues a law like do not steal, think about what He is saying about Himself and us.

About God:

• He wants us to have what we have earned
• He will provide what we need

About us:

• We have a propensity to steal
• We have a propensity to envy and covet what others have
• We have a propensity to laziness

Try this exercise on every command of God.
