GOD'S AWESOME WORDS SPEAK! - Friday Nov. 10, 2017

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
