Our Interior Law – Part IV
Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
We ask for wisdom so that we might discern your law that lives within each of us.
Blessed the one whom you instruct, O Lord, whom by your law you teach, giving them rest from evil days. Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
We look for peace in our turbulent days so that we must rest with you as we move through our days.
For the Lord will not cast off God’s people, nor abandon God’s inheritance; but judgment will be with justice, and all the upright of heart will follow it. Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
We look for integrity and uprightness so that we might live out the Gospel as Jesus teaches us.
When I say, “My foot is slipping,” your mercy, O Lord, sustains me; when cares abound within me, your comfort gladdens my soul. Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
We look for compassion and forgiveness so that we might live the love the Spirit inspires in each of us.
Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
We tap into our interior law, knowing that it always leads us in the best direction, understanding that it flourishes at the best of God’s time, and believing that it nourishes and sustains each of us and all of us.
Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
Jesus says, “Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember, when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.” “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered him, “Seven.” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” (Mark 8:17-21)
God’s love is far greater than we can imagine and far more durable than we can believe. And this is God’s law of love. There is always love in abundance . . . forever. Blessed are those who see and hear. Blessed are those who allow God to soften hearts. Blessed are those who believe that God’s law lives within.
Blessed the one you instruct, O Lord.
