Rejoicing in God's Testimonies

Today's Reading: Psalm 19:7-14

Devotional: Our sermon highlighted how the psalmist rejoiced in God's testimonies as much as in great riches. Today's reading in Psalm 19 expands on this theme, describing the preciousness and perfection of God's word. The psalmist doesn't just dutifully obey God's law - he delights in it, finding it sweeter than honey.

Reflect on your own attitude toward God's word and His commands. Do you see them as restrictive rules, or as life-giving guidance from a loving Father? Ask God to give you a renewed appreciation for His word today. As you read, notice the benefits the psalmist describes - restoring the soul, making wise the simple, rejoicing the heart. Which of these do you most need in your life right now? Close your time by praying verse 14, asking God to make the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart pleasing in His sight.
