His Mighty Words and Deeds

God sets the example for David. David expresses what God is doing in his life. Most of the time we are not able to follow the example set by God Himself, but He shows us the way in which to live a God-honoring life. My God is able to do anything. We will be taking a look at Psalms 19.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork."(1) There is beauty during the day and the night, and that is not even the half of His handywork. I am amazed everyday that I wake up of the beautiful sunrise that God paints across the morning sky. 

"Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge."(2) We communicate with others on a daily basis, and we should do the same by praying everyday. The night time has been the most common time that people tend to do their studying. They are seeking to gain knowledge in whatever they are studying. 

"There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."(3) Once God has come to a place; He makes Himself known.

"Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,"(4) God has used His people to reach the uttermost parts of the world. There are still people out there that have never heard of Him, so let them know that He cares.

"Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race."(5) The bridegroom is looking forward to being joined to his wife, and he has prepared for that day as he would prepare for a race.

"His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."(6) The sun falls upon everyone, and just like the sun, God is everywhere at all times. That is mind-boggling, the power that He has.

"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple."(7) All things pertaining to God are perfect, and His testimony is made known among the people. True wisdom is found in God, not in any books that the earth's libraries can contain.

"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes."(8) God has opened our eyes to the way that we ought to live.

"The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."(9) This fear is a fear of reverence, and the judgments that He makes are just.

"More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."(10) We have all desired temporal treasures at one time, but when we accepted Christ our perspective was changed. We have come to desire the things God, and not those things that would leave us empty and give only temporary satisfaction.

"Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."(11) David speaks of the rewards that comes to those that keep God's Law.

"Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults."(12) God is infallible, and He through Christ can cleanse us from our unrighteousness.

"Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression."(13) David prays that God would keep from sin.

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." (14) David wants to please God in his words and meditations.

Lord, Thank You for caring about the very small details of my life. Thank you also for how You work in the lives of others. Thank you for the bountiful blessings that You have bestowed upon me and my family.
