Psalm 19- Peace & Contentment

 ”The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. Who perceives his unintentional sins? Cleanse me from my hidden faults. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭7‬, ‭12‬, ‭14‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

David is honoring God in this Psalm exclaiming all the things that point to God and His goodness.  What stands out to me is the transformative power of Gods Word!  It renews life, makes us wise (the ability to apply knowledge) helps us see ourselves accurately and causes us to desire holiness.

This passage is filled with peace and contentment.  As I read it I can wholeheartedly agree with David and celebrate what God continues to do in my life through His Word.  This passage has the same effect on me as standing in front of a beautiful snow covered mountain, or watching the vast raging waves of the ocean or an incredible rock formation.

God help me to be in awe of you always!  Allow my thoughts to be tested daily so that they may be purified and every sin rooted out.  I long to please you in everything I think, say or do!  You have blessed me in so many ways…I am unworthy of the love you show, but am eternally grateful!!!
