When the rules don’t cover it … what then?

Morning: Psalm 38; Lamentations 2:8-15; I Corinthians 15:51-58

In workplaces, law courts, and our personal lives, there are countless questions the ‘Policies and Procedures Manual’ doesn’t answer. All kinds of situations go beyond what the rules anticipate.  Life is just too complicated to be summed up easily. So when the Laws appear stupid, it’s good to be reminded that they are there only to serve the community’s well-being. We also seem to have an in-built moral compass – some call it the Spirit – to help us find our path.  The trick is to listen and to watch for where the Spirit points, and then to go that way.
