God's covenant protection

There are two sins that I am overly zealous to avoid. These two sins almost always end up in long term suffering. These two sins are at the heart of destroying the confidence the Psalmist has in presenting his argument and knowing that God will give him what he wants. These two sins divide a persons life and create divided desires. Its hard for God to meet a persons desire if it is divided because God is obligated to protect the helpless. He must protect the helpless from the violence.

God has made institutions to prosper under one desire. One of the sins that divide a person is breaking covenant. The reason that breaking covenant is so difficult is because being divided as a person is really experiencing inward violence. When we are faithful to our covenant we are viewed by God as one nature. God creates unity through upholding His law in blessing the unity of one nature. Its not difficult to be united in marriage because God has established His kingdom by upholding His law in which He creates the boundaries that keep the family safe.

Its almost like salvation. We do not do anything to keep our salvation. So its easy for us to take our salvation for granted. Salvation is both very simple and very complicated. The one thing that makes salvation so successful is that we are motivated by the very simple things to experience freedom. And this is like marriage. We are already united and protected by God upholding His law. But the danger is looking in other places to enforce covenant unfaithfulness. You know you take God for granted and your coasting along and you become suspicious that its so easy to get Gods favor. And you begin to get your desires met by other things that the world offers. This is what is so difficult about living the christian life. People do not appreciate its simplicity. They do not see that salvation giftedness is to create a protection against the violence that is in the world. Most people have never learned to hide from the violence by living within the simplicity of a covenant keeping God. So they are always experiencing boredom and thats when they get tempted to embrace the curse or violence. Breaking covenant is receiving violence into our private lives.

The other big sin is what we allow our children to hear and see. I believe in christian freedom and that means we are not allowed to control other people. But I do not believe this relationship is the same with children. A child can be in one situation that can affect his life for 30 years. Its the only relationship where I see the teenagers behavior and I blame the parents for the rebellion. There is no other kind of relationship that we are allowed to blame someone for another persons problems. And there is no reasonable excuse for a teens rebellious behavior. Family is the only institution where being with the person in the family on a daily bases is more important than what we do in the relationship. God has made it so simple that the adults views are caught by the children simply by being infected with the parents philosophical virus. But the children cant catch the parents virus if the parent is not around. I dont understand why people want to go outside to find rest when its naturally designed by God as covenant protection. Why let the sorrows of the world divide us and then we cannot get our desires because God is obligated to protect the helpless?
