It
is a beautiful morning! I stepped out to get the paper and witnessed a beautiful light show in the clouds, reminding me of the
visible Lord’s presence leading the Israelites with a pillar of fire by night.
Last night Audrey and I painted the laundry room, in preparation for the delivery
today of a new washer and dryer. This morning I will finish, painting a
second coat as needed, and cleaning the floor before heading to the office.
William
and Kate had a baby boy yesterday in London. Perhaps his name will be announced
soon. It has been a “royal baby watch” for days, and the world seems to be
generally happy for the couple and for Great Britian with this new heir to the
monarchy. There are now 4 generations of the house of Windsor – Queen
Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, and this yet-to-be named baby boy.
That form of government seems to work uniquely for them, with an elected
parliament and prime minister running the country alongside the monarchy.
Deuteronomy
16:13- 17:20
Under
the topic “guidelines for a king”, Moses makes and interesting prescription in
17:18-20. The king must personally copy the scriptures, and read from it every
day. “This regular reading will prevent him from becoming proud and acting as
if he is above his fellow citizens. I will also prevent him from turning away
from these commands in the smallest way.” This is a great practice for every
follower of Jesus Christ – to read the scriptures daily, even to copy them
personally, all to the end of greater obedience to God’s will and greater
sensitivity to His commands.
Guide
me today most holy Lord in all that I do, think, and plan.
