The Law of God for Daily Meditation

Morning Meditation

Deuteronomy 17.14-20
14 “When you come to the land which the LORDyour God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, ‘I will set a king over me like all the nations that arearound me,’ 15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the LORDyour God chooses; onefrom among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who isnot your brother. 16 But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the LORDhas said to you, ‘You shall not return that way again.’ 17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself. 18 Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the onebefore the priests, the Levites. 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORDhis God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, 20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment tothe right hand or tothe left, and that he may prolong hisdays in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.”

Pray for those who have authority over you today, that they may be constrained by the Law and Word of God in all they do, whether consciously and by choice, or by their conscience bearing witness to the works of the Law, written on their hearts (Rom. 2.14, 15).

Evening Meditation

Leviticus 19.32

“You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I amthe LORD.”

Deuteronomy 24.10-13

10 “When you lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. 12 And if the man ispoor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. 13 You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORDyour God.”

Do I honor the elderly people I know, and the elders of my church? What about the poor? Or others who are indebted to me, or over whom I have authority? Wait on the Lord, and use this time at the end of the day to prepare to honor others tomorrow.
