Psalm 19:7 "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple."
"The law of the Lord is perfect." There really is nothing more to add
to this verse other than an exhortation to read and study our Bibles. There is
nothing that can be added to it that would make it any better than that which
God has given. "The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the
simple." This that has been given to us is faithful and trustworthy. The
word, sure, carries the meaning of a shaking of the right hands. There was a
time when a man's handshake was absolute assurance that he would keep his word.
In days gone by, even loans at the bank were sealed with shaking hands. A man
was as good as his word. For the most part, those times are gone. Now we have
to sign our names on 20 different pieces of paper and that isn't always
accountable. BUT GOD.... Yes, But God is so much different His Word matures us
as we place our trust and confidence in what the Lord has said. "Moreover
by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great
reward." (Psalm 19:11) We do ourselves a great injustice when we neglect
reading our Bibles. May the Lord help us to pay more attention to His testimony
and less attention to the testimony of the world.
