An important lesson for the disciple emerges from these three verses: namely, that the commandments of God are never whimsical or arbitrary but designed for our best. God is not in heaven thinking, I wonder how I can make life miserable for these creatures of Mine. Instead, He is thinking, What are some guidelines I can give My children to teach them how to live life to the fullest? God’s laws and commandments are designed to help us, not hinder us. They are meant to make us happy and fulfilled.
