It was a major breakdown. Production had been halted for hours simply because one crane was inoperable. Electricians with flash lights scurried from panel to panel searching for the source of the problem. Some responded to the problem in a random try this-try that approach, but there were two men who stood back and thought about principles that they had learned. Within 20 minutes, the crane was back online and production resumed its fast pace.
As Christians, we many times respond to problems in our lives in like manner as those that tried this and tried that. Because that is our tendency, God has reminded us that we should not forget his law. That statement brings about an important question: "If we know God's law, how can we forget it?" When we forget God's law, we essentially mislay it. Because of the busyness of life, we walk away from it and fail to look to his law for a solution to our problems.
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: (Proverbs 3:1)
What we should be doing is constantly guarding God's word in our heart. We can accomplish this by daily reading his word and marking principles that we learn which apply to our lives. As we continue to read, study and remind ourselves of God's law, we will keep ourselves from mislaying or walking away from it.
