Inspiration The passage in Corinthians concerns 'the letter' of the law (as originally inscribed in Judaism), in contrast to God's divine moral order. Even today, acts that are technically lawful may be abhorrent or have sinful consequences. What's more, laws change with regimes or the march of history; what many found acceptable in one generation, may be considered unjust by another. Thus, whilst our law and the letters inscribed thereupon may serve its purpose in regulating society, as devotees of the word of God, they are not sufficient. Serving society as a lawful citizen may be noble, but it is in the last judgment inferior to devoting ones spirit to God's everlasting truth in Testament. Prayer Heavenly Father, above and beyond the earthly letters of men, blessed are we to have received Your word and grace. Teach us to walk in Your holy path of rectitude, as our ultimate Father in everlasting life. Ensure that our devotion is first and foremost to You, O Lord, to whose ultimate justice we submit our spirit. Allow us to animate Your moral order, and show us mercy. All this, in your name. Amen.
