Luke 11:52 Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering."
I have friends that are lawyers and they are good people. That being said, the profession lends itself to some temptations. When you think about it the law has two roles. one is to convict those who are evil and the second is to defend those who are good. The problem is that if we are good we need no defense, so what happens is the law often defends the evil and persecutes the good. Often times the law is just a code to wiggle out of getting the proper consequences for our behavior. The law can just about justify anything. That is not good in God’s sight.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to trust in you and not in the law which can lead me astray.
Amen
