Psalm 19

Psalms 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

My thoughts today really cover the whole of this Psalm. God's Word here begins with
The Declaration of God's Glory
vs 1-6
One cannot help but see the glory of God. Our world is filled with pieces of evidence of it. The heavens and the earth cry out the glory of God
In the grandeur of creation
In the balance of creation
In the variety of creation
In the immensity of creation
In the power of creation
In the consistency of creation

Truly, "there is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.”

God's Word continues us
The Revelation of God
vs 7-11
Through the written word, the Bible we get the general picture of God from His creation. We learn the specifics of God from His revelation, the Word of God. His Word is
Perfect
Sure
Right
Pure
Clean and
True
What could we desire more from Almighty God than His Word?

God's Word then proceeds with
The Conviction upon man
vs 11-14
The man, who has been brought to see God in creation, then to find God revealed in His Word, come under conviction. Man, beholding himself in the Word of God, sees his
Errors
Secret faults and
Presumptuous sins
Moreover he realizes he is not able to cleanse himself and so he must appeal to the mercy of God.
It is at this point we become acceptable in the sight of God and he not only has saved us, but gives us strength and new life.
