Proverbs 7:2a (New Living Translation)
Obey my commands and live!
We Americans in the post-post-whatever-modern world don’t like COMMANDS. Don’t tell us what to do. We know what to do. We are our own commanders of our own fate, so stop this commands even those that come from God.
Let’s step back for a moment, please.
God promises life. God promises us that we will live and live to the fullest extent. Anything wrong with the result here? God is commanding us to live. Let’s see, how can I disagree with that one? I want to choose to not live or, well, uh, er, there must be some hidden agenda here, right? No.
God wants His creation to live as fully as He has provided. Is there any reason for us to want otherwise?
