God’s Strengthening Word: Learning From Biblical Teachingsნიმუში

Introduction

Psalm 19: This psalm is about the wonders of God and the goodness of God’s law. It describes how the laws of nature reveal God’s glory. Just as the law gives new life to creation, so, too, does it give new life to people. God’s teachings help people to live rightly.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 19:8a GNT

The laws of the LORD are right, and those who obey them are happy.

Reflect

The Hebrew word used in verse 7 for “law” means “teaching,” “instruction,” and “direction.” God’s teachings included written commandments (see Exodus through Deuteronomy). According to verses 7 and 8 in today’s psalm, “the law of the LORD is perfect” and “the laws of the LORD are right.” They give new strength, and the commands of the LORD give wisdom and understanding. Obeying them makes people happy. What impact do the “laws of the LORD” have on your life?

Pray

O Lord God, your law is perfect, trustworthy, and just. May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O LORD, my refuge and my redeemer. Amen.
