Psalms 19:1-14
19:1-4 The connection between God and the earth extends beyond humanity. David perceived that the skies and mountains, the atmosphere and physical earth responds to its creator, express acknowledgement and obedience to Him. In every corner, every place. The kingdom of heaven is both universal and atomic. To love God, to acknowledge him and obey Him is to meld, spiritually, into the whole of life.
19:5-6 He has made this earth a beautiful and hospitable place. A place of warmth and survival, extending all around.
19:7-11 The word of God is instructive and instrumental in our life. He transforms the quality of our soul, enhances its better qualities and gives us wisdom beyond our boundaries. His justice is purer than any system we come up with on our own; he helps us to adhere to and rejoice in the way and fruits of justice and enlightenment.
19:12-13 David recognized that he would need God's assistance in becoming and remaining pure in faith. He knew that he needed God to restrain him sometimes from worldly tendencies. To cleanse him from the results of worldly pursuits. David set God's authority to dominion over his life because he knew that something else, something tainted, would take over if he did not. David committed himself and his life to God; he understood that God's ownership of his life meant nothing else could steal or tempt him away.
19:14 David wanted to ensure that what he spoke was righteous and sincere. God is our power and savior and we should strive, also, to please Him, to adhere to the philosophy of life he designed for us.
