PSALM 19

Psalm 19

The psalm has three main parts:

a. Glory of God via creation

b. Perfection of the written Word

c. Personal evaluation,

            based on the observation of creation and the Scripture

a. Creation is such an intricate “mechanism” that any attempts to ascribe its beauty to a random chance “stand no chance” being evaluated. Current astronomers use the term like “fine tuning” of Earth’s position in the Universe – we are so far from the Sun, and so far from the larger planets like Saturn and Jupiter that the gravity balances us in our perfect location. If Sun (or any other large heavenly object) would be a bit bigger or smaller – the life on Earth as we know it would not exist.


Apart from technicalities of Space, it is simply beautiful – who doesn’t like to look at the stars, or sunsets, or sunrises…

b. Perfection of the Word  

1. The Law of God    

2. Testimony of the LORD

3. Precepts of the LORD

4. Commandment of LORD

5. Fear of the LORD

6. Rules of the LORD

Desired more than gold

Sweeter that honey …   

Both Creation and Scripture leads us to evaluate ourselves:

Hidden/Known sins

Presumptuous sins – thoughtful ones.   

May the Lord lead us to confession during this season of LENT.
