When the law of God accuses us, that brings us to repentance and a return to God. Whenever that happens, God delights to forgive and receive us into his gracious presence. And when we are curbed from gross acts of disobedience by fear of God or consequences, we can thank God for the law that brings that fear to us, and calls us to repent. That was Jesus' first recorded sermon in Mark's Gospel, "The time has come. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news." It's a good message for us to meditate on walking, standing, or sitting.
