Come Follow Me - Autumn Dickson Come Follow Me 2022 August 22-28 | Enemies as a FootstoolCome Follow Me 2022 August 22-28 Aug 22-28 Old Testament In Psalms 110, a phrase is found that speaks about enemies becoming a footstool. At a cursory glance, it may seem as though the enemy will be dishonored because having to deal with feet were saved for the lowliest servants. But if we take a deeper look, we can find a litmus test on our own spirituality.

There are two parts that contribute to this feeling: a knowledge of your complete dependence on the Savior as well as a knowledge of His capacity and willingness to take care of everything. How do we attain these feelings? Are these feelings worth chasing after?

Job talks about both his suffering and innocence throughout these chapters, and his “friends” tell him that he needs to be more accepting of the Lord’s will. They teach that if he is willing to repent and accept the Lord, his life will be built up again. Interestingly enough, the Lord is pleased with Job and displeased with his friends. How can this be?

To me (and apparently to Naaman also), this seemed kinda strange and arbitrary. Sometimes God gives us commandments that are morally grounded - don’t cheat, lie, or murder. Other times, He may give us other commandments that are not connected to being a good person at all. What is the point of these kinds of commandments? Are they just as important as the morally-based commandments? Fo...
