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.
