Kitchen Table Devotions

James

Day 21

So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. ¹³ For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. James 2:12-13

The way of God is the way of life and the law of God is the law of life.  The law of God is good, not bad; it is life even though it reveals death.  If we would live by the law of God, we would live in the life of God, but we can’t.  We can’t but He did and when He does live in our hearts we can.  Never let the law of God become a bad thing, those who let the law of God guide them, find life & liberty.  What keeps us bound and slaves is guilt.  The key to living out the law of God and living in the life of God is “mercy”.  Without “mercy” no one makes it out alive.  To fulfill the law of God to live in the life of God with the liberty of God is to live in the “mercy” of God.  God always has “mercy” for you & I.  When we live in His “mercy” and with His “mercy”, we share His love and life with others.
