Praising Scripture - Dec 8

Introduction...



Psalm 19:7-11 Praise God’s Word

(Memorization Scripture: vv. 9-11)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.




[Sharing]
When David spoke of the revealed word of the Lord, his tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. He used six different terms to speak of God’s word: the law, the testimony, the statues, the commandment, the fear, the judgements; then he used six different adjectives to describe God's word: perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true. What’s more, he explained the function of God's word from six different aspects: converting the soul, making wise the simple, rejoicing the heart, enlightening the eyes, enduring forever, righteous altogether. Such wonderful words are indeed more precious than gold, sweeter than honey!
But the word of the Lord is not only about the above mentioned benefits, more importantly is to warn us who belong to him: in keeping them there is great reward.
