Exodus 20:26
And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts may be exposed.’

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Fri, Dec. 18, DO NOT (Ex. 20:26). Until this verse, we still can see the commandment of God. Actually, how many are the commandment of God? Are there only 10? Are there no more commandment other than these ones? Are the other commandments not same level with these 10? Is God not allowed to add more commandments other than these? If God adds more commandment, is he a limited God? Is he a forgetful God, so in the future, he will add another commandments?
a. Let’s not focus on the number.
It can be ten or a hundred or even a thousand. No problem. The point is not on the number. God does make it clear, that actually these 10 laws can be concluded in 1 law, that is love.

b. Let’s not focus on the commandment.
The point is not on the commandment or on the prohibition. The point is the heart. If we love God, no matter how many, we won’t count it. We won’t have a problem to do it. We will be more than happy to do it.

c. Let’s not focus on the weight.
No commandment is too heavy? No commandment is impossible to be done? God is not crazy for giving us something which we can not do. Everything is possible. Everything is easy, for God never leaves us alone. He will always help us in doing all of those commandments. So let’s focus on God and how to please him. ASH.
