Psalm 19

Lord God, please teach me from Your creation, from Your firmament, Your Heavens, Your days and Your nights. Help me to respond to You as naturally and authentically as those Works of Your hand.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

Perfect……converting
Sure….discerning
Right……rejoicing
Pure….enlightening
Clean…..enduring
God…..His goodness, His gifts, His benefits, Himself

True, righteous, altogether. ALTOGETHER. Perfect in fullness and presence and unity. Nothing out of balance or proportion. You do not set aside one God-quality in order to manifest another. Altogether God. I praise You!

Lord, may i never forget or take as common that You have saved me from sin – secret or nefarious. May i never stray from the soul-deep desperation and piercing knowledge that You, so unlike me, have converted me from sin to that which i cannot grasp but by Your unfathomable gift and grace. i need saving. Everyday. In every way. Convert always my mind to Yours. And may i willfully choose at every turn the dominion of the King and no other. Nothing other.
