Psalm 19
“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
More to be desired
than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.”
sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.”
(Psalm
19:7a, 10)
What do you truly value? We are
asked this in different ways every day.
The pressure to conform to the values that confront us is pervasive, but
the Psalmist calls us back to that which holds greatest value. Here, the law
represents the relationship one has with Almighty God, a relationship built on
faith, trust, and obedience. Jesus
offers us the greatest understanding of this law, not in a particular code, but
in the pathway of love, grace, and mercy. That is to be desired more than
wealth and position, even more than the sweet taste of any earthly treasure.
Prayer: Revive my soul, Lord,
through the presence of your Spirit. Amen.
