Good Morning, God
Lord, the question before us always these days is do we come down on the side of the law or do we come down on the side of grace? A case in point has happened in Florida recently. A young man, 21yrs old, was life-guarding on the beach. He was notified that a swimmer was in trouble in the water. However, the swimmer was outside the area that the lifeguard was supposed to cover. Thinking of the rules for only a second, the lifeguard chose to save the life, which he did. The young man though is no longer a lifeguard – he was fired for going outside of his assigned territory. He had made an error landing on the side of grace rather than on the side of law.
Lord, we face such choices every day. Is what we are doing giving others a better day, a future hope, a joyful existence? Is what we are doing sapping energy, causing friction, “obeying the rules” but . . . .?
Lord, whenever and wherever possible, and as much as it depends on us, May we always choose grace over law.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
