The
order to keep commandments of God makes heavier the heart. But the
today's text gives this lesson : it's important to have two kind
of relationship between me and God before keeping his commandments.
- The personal relationship from mercy (1-6)
As
existence precedes essence, mercy precedes law. We must enter into a
relationship with God before observe the ten commandments. Moses
emphasizes the personal relationship with God v 1 to 6.
-The
promise between the Lord and me (6)
-The
personal encounter with God
-works

- The absolute relationship of the Law (7-10)

you feel personally God's love and receive his mercy, finally you
have the obligation to obey his word. The commandments of God are

Lord full of mercy, as you saved me, help-me serve you with joy.
Bottom
