Psalm 19

Chapter 19 of Psalms starts out telling us how the heavens declare God's glory and the work of His hands, and displaying His knowledge. There is no speech or language that does not hear their voices. Their words stretch to the ends of the world. This shows me that no man will not hear the praises of the Lord and all that He has done for us.

We are told that the Lord's law is perfect reviving the soul and that His statutes are trustworthy making what is wise, simple. His precepts bring joy to the heart, His commands are radiant and bring light to the eyes, and that He is all together righteous. This lifts me up knowing that God is all these things, and so much more, just knowing that He is everywhere and He doesn't walk in time but time walks in His will, and that He isn't subject to fate, but yet fate and destiny is decided by my God, the God I trust, the God that is my rock and my redeemer.

This poem lifts up my spirits, and is amazing to read, and it warns us of our sins. God knows that we have an imperfect perception of sin, and that we know not of all the sin's that we commit. But in this psalm it lets us know that our hidden sins are forgiven, and that we must stay away from willful sins. It tells us to keep our servant also from willful sins: may they not rule over me. then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

Ending that chapter with O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer truly is what God is to me and I know that I can lay all my doubts, fears, and concerns on Him that He will be my rock in the storm and my redeemer when I stumble.
