Today's Lamp || Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Matthew 5:34-35 & 37
But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the City of the Great King. ... Simply let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No;" anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

***
I am tired today so I don't have much to say. But these are excellent words to live by, as are all the words from our Lord's mouth. He simplifies everything for us. As humans we tend to complicate matters. All of that can be summed up in verse 37: Let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No." How much easier can it be?
