2012 Lenten Journey March 11

Psalm 19:7-14

7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm,
and all of them are righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

In the second half of the Psalm, it is God’s teachings that declare his greatness. In fact, the Psalmist states that the God’s Law is perfect, sure, right, clear, pure, and true. He also says that it is to be desired more than even fine gold. How is that assessment true in your own life? In what ways do God’s teachings instruct you and guide you?
