Keep God's Laws and Praise Him and You will be Acceptable

2 Chron 24:17-25
Meditation
Zechariah son of
Jehoiada the priest spoke God’s word to the people but they did not pay heed.
They killed him without even recognising the good his father Zechariah had
done. Time and again the generations of people of God harden their hearts to
the ways of God. God in his just anger punishes Israel, so that they may know
their creator and follow the commandment of God.
If one can praise God and
keep the laws of God, he/she is acceptable to the Lord; if not one may have to
face the wrath of God. Even the son of priest Jehoiada was killed in the bed by
the Aramean army. The rejection of God and his ways leads us into difficulties
in this world and as well in the spiritual life. One has to learn time and
again to be faithful to God and live by his commandments of God.
Do we follow God’s laws due
to fear or out of love for God?
