Good Morning,
Psalm 19 (NIV)
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
I often wonder why certain verses or sections of Scripture come my way on any particular day. I mean, there are so many days that I simply cannot understand the reason, or reasons, that some particular portion of God's Holy Bible cross my desk and I hear that "still, small voice" in my head telling me to send it along to you...and to whomever else might have the privilege of reading the words...especially the words that come directly from God in the Bible. Today is just such a day. I've simply basked in the beauty and clear meaning of what the Psalmist's pen produced that surely came from God Himself.
I guess that's often the reason, isn't it? Simply that God wants us to see His words as the wonder and marvel that they truly are. He is here and He is all around us. His glory and works are evident for us to see. All I can say is, "Thank you, Lord!" And, to repeat the words of the prophet:
"He who forms the mountains,
creates the wind,
and reveals his thoughts to man,
he who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads the high places of the earth—
the LORD God Almighty is his name." (Amos 4:13)
Hallelujah!
Love, peace, and blessings,
David
