The way of the Lord is life in all its fullness but it
doesn’t come naturally. Our hearts are more inclined to unjust gain and the
falsehood of fooling ourselves with excuses. That is why the psalmist prays to
be taught the ways of the Lord and led in the paths of righteousness and turned
from falsehoods that promise much but deliver nothing. The Lord’s reproach is
the truth about us which is good enough reason to dread it. But then there is
life on the other side of a just judgment which is why in our inmost being we
long for the law of the Lord that is life.
