Sunday Psalm More Desirable Than Gold
Sunday May 26, 2019
Some of us in recovery have transitioned from knowing little or nothing about the amazing God who pursued us with His love to completely giving our will and our life over to His care. We know that living a self-directed life brought us to a place of darkness where life was totally unmanageable. Now we are beginning to know this loving God and His way of light and life.
The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Reverence for the Lord is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. (Psalm 19:7-11 NLT)When we choose to make conscious contact with God, He directs our path and we experience joy in our hearts and peace in our souls. The Holy Spirit guides us, and our conscience once again becomes a trustworthy judge. We begin to make better choices and find freedom to become more transparent in the world around us.
They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. (Romans 2:15 NLT)
God's ways are perfect. When we follow God's principles in all our affairs, we can leave all the consequences with Him. Great reward is promised to those who wholeheartedly trust and obey the Lord. Joy and contentment fill our souls, and life will be sweeter than honey dripping from the comb.
Prayer: Gracious God, I am convinced that Your ways give insight for living that lead to an abundant life. Help me to follow and treasure Your ways as I would the finest gold. Amen
