Ps 19:14 “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” NIV
As I took a closer look at Psalm 19 last week I noticed something that David expresses that I believe is so true. At the beginning of Psalm 19, David begins to describe God’s magnificent creation describing the heavens and the sun. He then moves on to discuss the law of the Lord and how perfect it is. He uses such eloquent words that are so rich as he states in verses 9-10, “The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.” And because he seems to realize how amazing God’s law is he then responds by begging of the Lord’s forgiveness...and then he ends with a prayer that he may be pleasing in his sight.
Wow – I’m still in awe of this amazing song of David. And it is such an example of how our own response should be to the Lord. A view of his amazing creation leads us to realize how omniscient He is. A look at His creation we see how awesome and big our God is. With this realization and insight it leads us to only one response - a knowledge that His ways are pure and right. And wow, if God’s law is pure and “sweeter than honey”, it can only lead us to a pure desire for forgiveness, realizing that we will never be able to save ourselves and be able to compare to God’s infinite wisdom.
Just as David so well described - in awe of God’s majesty and who He is, all I can do is fall to my knees.
