Re:Verse reading–Psalm 32 (day three)
“Do not be like the horse or the mule…” A society that has estranged itself from the Bible says God functions as a substitute for thinking. A society that has estranged itself from the Bible says religion keeps people in an intellectual cave. A society that has estranged itself from the Bible says no one can really know what’s true. Actually, rote belief and slavish thinking have no place in the life of anyone instructed by God’s word. Control by bit and bridle is for mules, not for people. To understand the seriousness of sin, to confess to the Lord, and to learn from God how to live and not die—this is height to which God calls the human mind. God actually has a higher view of human beings than a society which claims that truth is out of reach for us.
