Bible Scripture and Hymn for Tuesday 19 April 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Blog Title: "Awe at God's Revelation"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 19:1-14
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 19:14  "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and Redeemer."

"Wow"  The words "My Strength and Redeemer" says it all about our Almighty God.  This psalm is a wisdom psalm and celebrates the Word of God in the context of creation.  The poem begins with the heavens, centers on the Word, and ends in the hearts of the servants of God.

God has revealed Himself in His creation, but has enriched us most through His revelation in the Scriptures.  Only by studying and keeping God's Law can we be kept from sin.   Revelation is primarily the giving and receiving of information from God.  This Chapter celebrates two forms of revelation: (1) Natural: in which information about God is made known through His creation and (2) Special: in which information from God is made known directly to us.

In Romans 1:18-20 it teaches God's existence and His power are known through creation.  This psalm has three main points:

(1) A celebration of the greatness of God's creation (verses 1-6)
(2) A celebration of the purity of the word of God (verses 7-11)
(3) A contempaltion of the life of the person of god (verses 12-14)

In Verse 14 "My Strength" means that God is the solid rock for us to stand on.  "My Redeemer" describes God as the One who puchases our our freedom from any bondage or slavery.  He is the "defender of family rights".

Today's Hymn: "Great Are Your Works"

Your works, Lord, are awesome.  Your power is great
Your works, Lord, are awesome.  Your power is great
Great are Your works Lord, Great are your deeds.
Awesome in power, so awesome to me.
You will reign forever.  In power You will reign
You will reign forever.  In power You will reign
Great are Your works, Lord Great are Your deeds
Awesome in power, so awesome to me
Because of Your greatness, All the earth will sing
Because of Your greatness, All the earth will sing
Great are Your works Lord, Great are Your deeds
Awesome in power, so awesome to me

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit,  The heavens and the earth do declare the glory of Your name.  You are our Strength and Redeemer.  Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts always be acceptable to Thee and may our lifes so shine for you so that those around us and who are watching us a sChristians will see the light from within us that will want what You have given to us so freely.
                                                                                                     Amen
