Seed for Aug 10

The 10 Commandments were written by the finger of God on tablets of stone. They were written on stone to match/equal the hardness of men's hearts. Since men's hearts were as hard as stone, the commandments had to match that hardness. But the promise was for a day when God would no longer have commandments written in stone but His law would be written in the flesh of our hearts. He would take away our old hard heart and give us a heart sensitive to Him. So we have a contrast of the "law without" and the "law with in." The "law without" did absolutely nothing to make men right. How then do we think that men's law or religious laws are going to make men right? We go to church and immediately they begin with "don't do this, don't handle that, don't taste this, don't go there, don't look at that, don't, don't, don't." Is there any wonder why men become turned off to religion? That is not God's way! He writes His law in our hearts. When we come to Him he changes our hard stoney hearts, to one that can be sensitive to Him. If your heart has not been changed by God, you can keep all the commandments you want, and you will not please God. They that are in the flesh cannot please God. We must walk in the Spirit, and it must be the "life within" not the rules "without" that govern. Be blessed
