Psalm 19:7

Psalm 19:7

Psalm 19:7 “The law of the LORD is perfect,”
 
[You make no mistakes, Lord; what you revealed is exactly right, perfectly presented, totally trustable. Your law is without flaw, without error, without lack. It is the one thing in this world that we can fully lean on.]

 
“reviving the soul.”
 
[To learn your law, to obey your ordinances brings life, refreshment, growth and strength to our souls: to our minds, our wills our emotions. They are brought more in line with what you originally intended—just a tiny taste of pre-fall goodness, but none-the-less, a touch of eternal reality. Praise you for putting it within our grasp by putting perfection within your Word.]

 
“The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,”
 
[They are absolutely right, fully true, totally correct and therefore we can rest in them. Even if men take some verses out of context and twist them to their own purposes, that does not negate the genuine wisdom stored up in them for those who handle and understand the Word of God correctly, taking it at face value.]

 
“making wise the simple.”
 
[We are are all foolish in the light of your deep and wide, full and powerful wisdom. We are all simple in comparison with you, Lord, and your complexity, your creativity, your designing all with deep detail–just think of the structure of a cell, a complex as any city. Who can understand the power that holds together the positive protons in the nucleus of an atom? Who can know the paths of the stars? Who can know what is right in every situation? Only you, Lord God, and you graciously share much of that wisdom with us in your Word.
 
Praise you for your generosity in sharing your wisdom with us! Help us today to admit our simplistic approach to life and to embrace instead your rich wisdom, submitting ourselves to your Way, your Word, your Wonderful love.]
