The Way of the Law

(Psa 103:7 KJV)  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

(Proverbs 24 also read)

I have commented from time to time on the lack of concern about the law in the book of Psalms.  In fact, David seems to praise the law and lift it up as a wonderful thing.  Here he gives us an interesting interpretation.  In referring to the giving of the law, he says that God was simply sharing with us His “ways” (1870).

That is an interesting way of looking at the law.  It is not a rigid cage to hold us in and make our lives difficult.  It is God showing us how He expects life to be lived.  It is an owners manual, telling us the technical details of how to maintain our piece of equipment.

So?  Why not follow the manual?  It gives us all the specifications that we really need.
