Psalm 19
Dear RTB’ers,
Psalm 19. A late morning. After eleven days of travel and a midnight arrival, Carol and I slept in. Back on schedule tomorrow.
One short psalm today. The first six verses, the heavens, especially the sun reflecting the glory of God – …there is nothing hidden…! I am reminded of Paul’s charge against …all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men… For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (Romans 1:18b-20) There is nothing hidden…!
Law, testimony, precepts, commandment, judgments (rules)… (vv. 7-9). I’ll have something to say about these “synonyms” when we get to Psalm 119.
Today’s closing: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Have we heard those words before? Like before half of the sermons you have heard on Sunday mornings…!! Now you know where the preacher’s prayer comes from!
Blessings!
One of my favorites.
It’s the naturalist in you, Sean. Those first six verses grabbed you and wouldn’t let go! And a nice ending, too. Thanks for sharing!
Fred, Psalm 19 hits me exactly as you said, for the love of his creation.
