Regulations are meant to dilate on laws but not to create new ones which are even more restrictive beyond the intents of the main legislation as the communication Regulations have done. This is a case of overlapping of powers of the Parliament to enact laws.

Victims of these new laws camouflaging as Regulations ought to ask the High Court to strike them out for being unconstitutional, overzealous and overreaching..

God's Benefit Package

I recently rediscovered one of my prayer diaries in which I recorded some of my early experiences of answered prayer.
On 26 September 1976, I wrote about a prayer for my mother: ‘Prayed for the Lord to heal her insomnia.’ (I did not tell her I was praying for her.) Exactly three months later, on 26 December 1976, I wrote that my mother ‘says she has slept better in the last few weeks than for four years and it is no longer a problem’.
Of course, it is not possible to prove Christianity on the basis of answers to prayer, because cynics can always explain them away as coincidence. But as former Archbishop of Canterbury William Temple said, ‘When I pray, coincidences happen; when I don’t, they don’t.’ The cumulative effect of answered prayer is to reinforce our faith in God.
For the last twenty-five years, I have written by the New Testament passage for today some of my prayers for the year ahead. It is amazing to think back and remember the ways in which God has answered so many of these prayers. I find it very easy to forget all the answers to prayer. It is so easy to forget blessings.
David reminds himself in the psalm for today not to forget ‘all his benefits’ (Psalm 103:2). Many are conscious of the ‘benefits’ they can receive associated with their employment, or from the state. But what about the ‘benefits’ that we receive from our loving heavenly Father?

Psalm 103:1-12

Remember and thank God for all his benefits

There is so much to praise God for. David appears almost to be speaking to himself and urging himself on: ‘O my soul, bless God, from head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name! O my soul, bless God, don’t forget a single blessing!’ (vv.1–2, MSG).
David had clearly faced many troubles in his life: sin, disease and ‘the pit’ (vv.3–4). Yet he, like the apostle Paul (2 Corinthians 1:3), begins with praise for so many of God’s benefits.

Forgiveness
God forgives all your sins (Psalm 103:3): ‘he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities’ (v.10); ‘as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us’ (v.12).

Healing
God ‘heals all your diseases’. One day we will be completely healed. We see signs of this now, when God heals us directly and supernaturally. In addition, God has put in our bodies the immune system, antibodies and the mending process.

Redemption
God ‘redeems your life from the pit’ (v.4a). There is no pit so deep that God’s redemption cannot reach.

Love
He ‘crowns you with love and compassion’ (v.4b): ‘for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him’ (v.11).

Satisfaction
He ‘satisfies your desires with good things’ (v.5a).

I praise you, Lord, for all your benefits: for your forgiveness and healing, for redeeming me, for crowning me with love and compassion and for satisfying me with good things.

2 Chronicles 26:1-28:27

Don’t let his benefits make you proud

Times when things are going well can be as much a test upon our faith as the times when they are not going well. Abraham Lincoln, who as President of the USA knew all about power, said, ‘Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.’
Uzziah started so well. He became king aged only sixteen (26:1). ‘He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord’ (v.4). He ‘was a loyal seeker after God’ (v.5a, MSG). ‘As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success’ (v.5b). ‘God helped him’ (v.7). He became famous and he became quite powerful (v.8). ‘Everything seemed to go his way’ (v.15, MSG).
While he was seeking God, God was answering his prayers, helping him and giving him success.
However, it all went horribly wrong when ‘he became powerful’ (v.15c). Fame, success and power are intoxicating. They carry with them the dangers of pride and arrogance.
‘But then the strength and success went to his head. Arrogant and proud he fell’ (v.16, MSG). He did what was specifically forbidden in Scripture (see Numbers 16:40; 18:7), in spite of the fact that many of the leaders ‘confronted him’ (2 Chronicles 26:18) and warned him against being ‘unfaithful’ (v.18). Instead of listening to them, in his pride he ‘lost his temper’ (v.19, MSG). This is a warning. If things go well, do not become proud. Keep trusting and obeying God.

Lord, help me to keep praising you, relying on you and seeking you all my life.

2 Corinthians 1:3–4
‘The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.’
Sadly, we are not spared troubles in this life, but we do have a compassionate Father who is the God of all comfort, not just some comfort, who will comfort us in every single trouble that we face.
