Mar 14 — Psalm 19:1-14

Posted on March 14, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 19:1-14

OBSERVATION:
As I read this Psalm, I imagine David out in the fields with his sheep, looking up into the vast skies surrounding him, watching the sun run its course from its rising to its seeting (vv.4-6), and marvelling at how great God is.
I also imagine him reflecting on his “tabernacle lessons”, what he has been taught as a young Jewish boy from the teachings of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), and how God’s good will is revealed there, helping and protecting His people to live in a healthy, holy, honourable way.
David is meditating on God as He reveals Himself in the universe and in the Torah (books of Moses), and offers his relfections as a psalm of praise and love for God His Rock and Redeemer (rescuer).

APPLICATION:
Do I spend time “listening” to what God is saying to me in the world around me? Too often I am rushing so fast I don’t have time to smell the roses, or to rejoice in their Maker.
Do I find God’s message in the Bible a delight, a sweet blessing, as more precious than worldly wealth? Do I desire God’s truth more than worldly wealth? Do my actions reflect that desire?
Like David, I realize how huge my sin and guilt are, and how wonderfully patient and forgiving God is for me. There is no way I could know the extent of my secret sins, but like David I need to pray for protection and determination against willful, conscious sinful choices.
I hear the Lord gently challenging and inviting me to pay more attention to Him in His world and in His Word.

PRAYER:
Lord, You are always speaking, but I am not always listening. Please help me to listen for Your voice everywhere and all the time! Amen.

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway.
