The word of God the BIBLE itself is a must for man to grow and succeed in life. I super love these verses below. Well, rhymes and wonderful words used are really awesome. God is the best. I don't know but it's just awesome of God having these Psalms wrtitten. Here is Psalm 19: 7-11 NIV:
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Because of its perfection, it refreshes the soul. It is without flaws making a broken person have bliss and energy. It is perfect in terms of time. It helps increase our faith with the multitude of promises it contains. It is reviving, life-diving and restoring targeting the soul.
2. It is trustworthy.
2. It is trustworthy.
No one can doubt God’s words. As the earth may pass away, but His words will stand forever (see matthew 24:35). He is the same yesterday, today and forever and so are His words. In view of this, we can give our purest trust to Him simply because He never fails. He plans the best for us, He knows the exact number of our hairs, and He gave his only son just to free us. He loves us so much that He can’t leave us nor forsake us. What else are we searching for? Why not rely on Him? He is for everyone—simple, imperfect and inexperienced.
3. It is right.
It is appropriate and just. It can never be wrong. And true happiness can be attained by living according to His words, His commands, His will that if we delight ourselves unto Him He’ll give us our desire making us have satisfaction. He alone can fill the emptiness we have in our hearts leaving us true bliss. His words uplift, heal and calm.
4. It is radiant.
“..radiant giving light to the eyes..” It is indeed a light which guides our way. It is the lamp that leads us to true life. It helps us see circumstances positively by faith. It leads us in roads unknown, points us from paths unsure. As we apply His words, our lives will be surely enlightened and definitely as we humble seek Him, He’ll let His light shine from us thus pointing others to Christ, the true Light.
5. It is sure.
No one can change the mind of God. As He sets the stars in their place and so was our life. He knows for sure how we are going to be in the form of His likeness. Never doubt God. Keep the faith for faith simply pleases God. Trials and challenges are permitted in order to refine us not to harm us. Be solid in His words and you’ll be in last.
6. It is pure.
Unlike nowaday’s products, His words are not 99% pure but 100%. What is written here in verse 9 is about the fear of the Lord—not the worldly fear those children know but the holy fear. This fear is about a love together with reverence. A love knowing that He is our Father and Bestfriend and reverence acknowledging Him as our King, Master and Lord. This fear must result to the purity of our hearts and minds as we continue to walk with Him.
7. It is precious.
“If you don’t have a Bible, go and sell your house and buy a Bible… ” a dialog I can recall from a teaching long ago. It is precious! The message version says that diamonds are no better than God’s words. As we grow to know God more by His words, we learn to do things that result in heavenly rewards which do not tarnish for the things of this world are just temporary.
8. It is incomparable.
Riches of this world offer happiness and pleasure that will not last. But the joy of knowing God can’t be compared to those riches. Talking about sweetness, I was reminded of the book of Isaiah, particularly the 43rd chapter. It was undeniably sweet divulging more of the immeasurable span of His love for Israel, for His people, for us.
9. It is warning.
As His words guides, we can experience rebukes and warning when we are doing something against His will. His words, through the Holy Spirit, remind us everything we need in the battle of life. As we keep our gaze on Christ, sin is prevented, enemy is destroyed and the victory is ours.
10. It is a reward.
By meditating His words, we grow in Christ leading us to the true treasures we must have—an unfailing love, a full life, a beautiful hope in Christ and eternal friends. Living according to His words, enduring stumbles and failures that come our way, dealing with God, doing all things for Christ’s sake…who knows how proud God will be? How many crowns we’ll receive when the time comes?
Note: I also love the "The Message" version too. You can read try it!
