Thoughts from Psalm 19

“The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.”  Psalm 19:8b

Praise you, Lord, that my failures do not influence your attitude or love for me.

You are the great and gracious One who

does not change,

who cannot change,

who is steady, faithful and good.

It is a great comfort , in the midst of my ups and downs,

to know how consistently, wonderfully loving and reliable you are.

As it says in Psalm 19:7-11, “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul.”

It is through your Word that you have brought life to my soul, giving transformation, strength, courage and joy.

“The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.”

When I have no idea what to do or say, your Word gives guidance. It is full of wisdom, overflowing with insight and packed with knowledge.

By your Word and the work of the Spirit, we can, to a great degree, understand life, suffering, purpose, our end, and most importantly, you.

Prayer: “May your name may be lifted on high today before all those we meet. Glorify yourself in our lives today as we live according to your Word! Amen.”

Picture: Jesus, the Living Word, shines into our lives, giving light to our eyes.
