Please read Psalm 19.

Meditate on verses 1 and 14a.

The heavens are telling of the glory of God, and their expanse is declaring

 the work of His hands. Let the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight…

David acknowledged the heavens are telling about God’s glory and revealing His knowledge day and night (vs. 1-2). He asked God to make his thoughts and words pleasing to Him (v. 14). Sandwiched between the heavens declaring the work of God’s hands and the request for you to do the same is a list about God’s Word (vs. 7-11). The Testimony of the LORD is:

1.     Perfect                                     6.   True

2.     Sure                                        7.   Altogether righteous

3.     Right                                       8.   More desirable than gold

4.     Pure                                        9.   Sweeter than honey

5.     Clean                                      

The results of keeping God’s Testimony are:

1.     Restoring the soul                 5.  Enduring forever

2.     Making wise the simple        6.  Being warned

3.     Rejoicing the heart                7.  Receiving great reward

4.     Enlightening the eyes

Meditate on these truths and pray Psalm 19:12-14 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help ______ and me discern our errors.  Acquit us of hidden faults.

Keep us from presumptuous sins; let them not rule over us.

Make us blameless and acquitted of great transgression.

Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts

be acceptable in Your sight. 

O LORD, our Rock and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ~
