Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,
and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
I don't know about you, but I often think of commandments and rules negatively. I think of them as things i HAVE to do or things that restrict me. Wouldn't life be better without any rules, when I could just do what I want?
Um..... nope. If I could just do whatever I want, if we could all just do what we want, this world would not be a better place. Imagine it for a moment. It almost makes you shudder. The commandments of God are lamps and light that guide our way. They aren't things that keep us from doing things that are valuable, they show us the valuable way to live. Teaching and commandments are good things. Thanks be to God for commandments and discipline.
