De 27:7 – “And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.”
Here again the offering and feast with joy are brought together. Matthew Henry in his commentary points out that they were not yet in full possession of Canaan when this was written. I always find this difficult the now and the not yet aspect of the gospel. He has made us new creatures yet I still have the appetites and desires of the old creature. Still God’s desire is for us to celebrate in Him and see with eternal eyes that it has been accomplished already.

No matter what, God loves us. Some days I wonder how He can love me...especially when I keep sinning the same sins over and over! Old habits die hard.
p.s. I don't think I'm making sense
Nav, the strugle to accept God's grace is common to just about everyone I know.
- Peace
Ditto, that's why I started this whole search.
