"I will never forget your commandments, because by them you gave me life."
In the creation, when God was forming the heavens and the earth, we see two very different stories about creation. The first story portrays creation a something that occurs by God saying something and having it happen. In the second story. we have an image of God molding us and the rest of creation with God's hands shaping clay and breathing life into what is molded. I sometimes forget that creation and life happen because God commanded it to happen. It's very evident in the first account, but in the second account, God commands by molding and shaping creation. God's commandments do give us life, but not in the way we sometimes think it happens. God's commandments don't give us life by giving us a rule book to win the game. God's commandments give us life because God commands life into being. God is the source of life, and God commands life into being.
