REVERBERATIONS...from David's Psalms
GOD’S AWESOME WORDS SPEAK!
Psalm 19:7-14
declares the Glory of God’s words. On
September 22nd, I posted some words about Psalm 19:1-6. David writes
about God’s creation declaring His Glory. If you have ever stood in the hallway
of the 27,000-foot mountains on the way to Everest Base Camp in the Himalayas,
or driven through the valleys of the Swiss Alps, or been over the Continental Divide
in the Rockies of Colorado, or then been to the opposite, the flat of the
desert in the Western U.S. and been dazzled by a gazillion stars, then, you
certainly know about Rich Mullins’ song, “Our God is an Awesome God!”
But now,
from verses 7 to 14, it’s all about God’s awesome words. David says the Lord’s precepts, statues,
commands, laws, and ordinances are Perfect,
reviving the soul; Trustworthy,
making us wise; Right, giving joy to
the heart; Radiant, giving light to
our eyes; Righteous, more precious
than gold and sweeter than honey. Living by these precious words of God, there
is great reward. Whew! These are the
answers to today’s many social issues. David
also says in verse 9, that respecting and honoring these words of the Lord is a
pure act and endures forever. We get the
idea that spending time reading God’s word is a great idea!
Then, as a
final thought in verse 13, David declares that following these words of the
Lord will definitely keep someone blameless from willful transgressions. He ends Psalm 19 with a well-known quote and
the desire of his heart, and hopefully ours as well, “May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and
my Redeemer”.
Listen to Rich Mullins' amazing song, sung by another friend of The Continentals, Michael W. Smith...watch this and worship
