The ABC's of God's Word nourish souls from spiritual infancy to mature adulthood. The life that honors God is not one of simply learning the rules and striving to obey them, but one whose heart loves the law and wishes more than anything to align the will with them. The goal is to so delight in the law that it is the center of all thought, action, reaction, and speech. Only a new heart can desire this kind of life. The natural man wants to know the speed limit in order to avoid getting a ticket, the new man wants to embrace the limitations God has commanded to obtain oneness with Him. It is an inescapable concept, not a matter of whether, but which. We are created and thus limited. Which limitations will you embrace, accept and seek to understand and which will you seek to destroy, resist and overhaul? The man of God loves the Law and is grateful that it guides his feet on the narrow path that alone leads to life. The ABC's lead from A to Z.
