10/6/12- Psalm 19- The Law as a gift

The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
⁸ The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
⁹ The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.

¹⁰ They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
¹¹ By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

Thoughts: The Law of God is not meant to rob us of joy, but to bring us the abundant life.  God sits at the treasure chest of His Word each day waiting to meet with us.  

Prayer: Help me, Lord, to see your Word as a precious gift.
