God's Righteous Instructions

Inspired by Exodus 20-23 and Matthew Henry's commentary God gave us certain instructions Reminding us how He saved us from subjection Our responsibility to Him was His regulations Forbidding any kind of superstition Then He instructed us how to love each other Honoring our fathers and our mothers Like to ourselves should we love our neighbors Forbidding any kind of wrongful desires We were once in bondage to our depravity Denying God of His legitimate glory It is His law that protects our sanctity Providing refuge for our regrets and legality We should be ready to be benevolent Have mercy on others and be compassionate If harm was done then the culprit should compensate Just as our honor God's grace does vindicate May His instructions teach us to be morally upright Regularly resting and depending on His might Fighting against sin as His holy knights Trusting that He will be our continual delight
