From the rising of the sun to its settingOoh, ooh, I see a loophole! I only have to praise God when the sun's up! When it's dark, I can do whatever I want, and forget about God!
The name of the LORD is to be praised.
This is an easy trap to fall into, isn't it? We match our piety to certain circumstances. Right now it's Lent, so a lot of people are doing things they wouldn't think of doing other times of the year. Even I make some minor changes to my routine during this time.
How often do we go through the motions because it's expected. But, when no one is looking, we feel we don't need to do the same stuff? I know I'm plenty guilty of this, even on this day. If we always lived like we're commanded to, how would things be different? What steps can we take to get closer to that point?
