Psalm 19: Thoughts for This Day

Psalm 19 spoke to me this morning, so I thought I’d share a selection of verses from it for meditation:

The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul.

The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.

The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.

The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

May the words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Thank you this day, Lord, for how Your creation speaks of You. Thank you for Your law that shows us Your ways. Thank you for being my Rock and my Redeemer. Where would I be without You? Where would any of us be?

Amen.
