What grace and serendipity that I held over Matthew 13 for today. Deuteronomy 28 and 29 are, respectively, a chapter on the blessings of keeping the covenant laws, and a chapter on the curses.<\/p>\n
There are some curses in the Deuteronomy 29 which have made my hair curl and my womb cramp within me.<\/p>\n
The magnitude of the calling of a believer, and a disciple, hit me like the south west express rushing through the station at 250kilometres an hour.<\/p>\n
In Matthew 13, although Jesus has said that he has not come to undermine a single part of the law, he also says that teachers of the law who wish to be his disciples will have to be like the owner of a house who takes new and old things out of his store-room.<\/p>\n
Dear God, I want to serve you, and you alone, joyfully and righteously. Please help me turn my whole heart towards you to do that.

In Jesus’ name, Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
