Man’s Rules are not God’s Law – Matthew 12

Pastor Chris Parker

Pastor Bob Jones – John 12:1-7  

By Pastor Chris Parker

It is a reflective and instructional psalm by King David that explores the themes of forgiveness, repentance, and divine guidance. It begins with a proclamation of the blessings that come from having one’s sins forgiven by God and emphasizes the relief and joy experienced after confessing wrongdoing. David recounts his personal struggle when he kept silent about his sins, which caused deep emotional and physical suffering. Once he confessed, he felt the weight lifted and experienced God’s forgiveness.

Trusting God often means releasing the need to control every outcome. It’s a surrender of our plans, fears, and what we think should happen, knowing that God’s understanding and ways are higher than ours. When we choose trust, we invite peace into situations that could otherwise overwhelm us.
