The good news is you can obey God’s laws and greatly enjoy life. David discovered how and talks about it in places such as Psalm 16 and Psalm 119. He tells God, “I rejoice in following your statutes, as one rejoices in great riches” (Psalm 119:14).
Read God’s Word to find out how to live; then ask God to help you become more like Him. Every time you follow God out of love and with a pure heart, you’ll be amazed at the result

About this Plan
You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time. It is illegal to wake a bear to take its picture. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. Believe it or not, those are actual laws in various places. They sound pretty silly, don’t they? The Israelites might have thought the same thing when God gave them some of His laws. For instance, God told them to only eat meat from animals that had split hooves and chewed the cud (Leviticus 11:3). Huh? God also required that any clothing with mildew on it must be taken to the priest to “examine the mildew and isolate the affected article for seven days” (Leviticus 13:50). Can you imagine taking your dirty laundry to your pastor? God, in His infinite wisdom, had good reasons for each law He gave. He intended them to benefit not only the Israelites but also the world.
