Unlikely Encouragement
December 6, 2012
Are you looking for encouragement? Do you need a little boost today amid all the bad news coming your way? The psalmist David can lift your spirit in an unexpected way through some words we often think of as negative.
When we read Psalm 19, we discover a short listing of ways that the Lords clearly defined law, or standards for living, can bring positive results. This is unlikely encouragement, for some see Gods standards as restrictive and as robbing us of happiness.
Here are some words the psalmist used for Gods standards: law of the Lord (v.7), testimony (v.7), statutes (v.8), commandments (v.8), fear of the Lord (v.9), and judgments (v.9). These words have an ominous sound that causes many people to want to avoid or reject them.
But notice what these things bring to the believing, obedient heart: conversion of the soul, wisdom, rejoicing of the heart, purity of life, enlightenment of the eyes, endurance, truth, and righteousness (vv.7-9). Thats great encouragement! No wonder David said about Gods law that Hes given to us, More to be desired are they than gold . . . sweeter also than honey (v.10).
Lord, we love You and Your Word. We delight in
reading it, learning about You, and following what
You teach us. Thank You for all the blessings that come
from our relationship with You. Amen.
Obedience to Gods Word is the Christians greatest freedom.
Read: Psalm 19:7-11
