Worship Without Words







 

Read:  Psalm 19:1-6


God’s glory is overflowingly declared by the heavens.  Shining forth in radiance, the story is told, yet not a word is spoken.  Not a syllable, not a single sound.  It goes everywhere, throughout all edges of existence.  The sun which sleeps at night and wakes up in the morning shouts forth God’s glory. There is more joy than a married man on his wedding night.  There is more energy and vigor than an Olympic runner.

Read:  Psalm 19:7-9


What does the law’s perfection have to do with God’s glory declared?  God has revealed Himself in creation (general revelation) and God has revealed Himself in the law (special revelation).  The beauty of God’s work is surpassed by the perfection of God’s Word.

Read:  Psalm 19:10-14


We crave the law more than all the wealth of the world.  We desire the law more than the tastiest chocolate.  It is the law which warns us.  It is obeying the law which rewards us. 

Lord, I do not understand the depths of my sinfulness.  On sins that I’m not aware of, please forgive me.  On sins that I am aware of, please give me victory over them. May everything that I say and think be pleasing to You, O Lord, my Rock, my Redeemer. Amen.
