About Psalm 19, what we found

Here are some of the comments we found on Thursday:
  1. The Church teaches that God created the universe by His word, according to His wisdom. Does this concept appear in Psalm 19?
    1. Bob R.: I see it all over.
  2. The second half of the psalm describes the Torah. Is there something in the first half that describes Jesus or the Gospel?
    1. Bob R.:Jesus the Bridegroom
    2. Dave: the tabernacle, pitching the tent for the sun
    3. Ken: the Word created the universe; also, the message going out over the earth is like the mission to evangelize.
  3. Is there something about the message of Jesus that is inescapable to any man, woman or child, something that no man escapes?
    1. Ken: You cannot hide from the truth.
    2. Jim: How about, "No man comes to the Father except through me," for something everyone must experience?
    3. Al: The prophet Jeremiah recalled the Lord's vocation, "Before you were born, I knew you," something God could say to anyone.
    4. Jim: Spell it sun or son, it makes no difference.
  4. The precepts or statutes of the Lord lead to rejoicing of the heart, but federal and state statutes are about crimes and misdemeanors, so how can the Lord's statutes lead to rejoicing?
    1. Ken: Holy fear leads to perfection and joy.
We had an excellent session.


Hebrew letters for the Lord's encouragement, "Fear not, for I am with you."

Next Thursday, Psalm 128, a mighty psalm, one of the greatest of all.
