Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9 / Matthew 5:17-19
In life, we need some routines to help us have some stability.
Routines help us to have some control of our life so that we won’t be stressed up with anxiety.
Also we want some peace of mind and not to worry about what to do next or what is going to happen next.
In many ways, laws and rules help us to have peace of mind and also some stability and security in life.
We know what is the right thing to do and we also know that laws and rules protect us from any wrong that might be done to us.
More so for divine laws and commandments.
God gives us laws and commandments so that we can live life in peace.
As the 1st reading tells us, keeping the laws and commandments of God shows that we are wise and understand the meaning of life.
God’s laws and commandments show us that He loves us and He wants us to be at peace and feel safe and secure.
Let us obey and keep God’s laws and commandments to show that we love God, and let us also tell others about the peace and joy of keeping God’s laws and commandments
