Doing and giving approval

Reading: Exodus 10-11, Psalm 31, Romans 1, and Matthew 22

Scripture: Romans 1:32, Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Thoughts: God laid out many laws that we are to talk in. The greatest is to love God and the second is to love others. Without these how could we expect to live out the others? In the world there are many who claim to know God and be one of his, thus claiming they know his commandments, yet they walk in contradiction to that. Are there laws or commandments that we are walking in opposition to? Do we hear God’s voice through his word yet choose to accept and chase after those things that are wrong, by approving or even participation in those things that God has said are wrong? 

Prayer: Father God, I lay my complacency and apathy at your feet. You gave us your laws and commands to us through the prophets, teachers and disciples who know you. I ask for forgiveness for not walking in all your precepts and ask that you place upon my heart all your commandments and give me the strength to strive after them every day.
