Passage: Psalm 19:7-11

The law of the Lord is perfect,[a]

reviving the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure,

making wise the simple;

8 the precepts of the Lord are right,

rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure,

enlightening the eyes;

9 the fear of the Lord is clean,

enduring forever;

the rules[b] of the Lord are true,

and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

even much fine gold;

sweeter also than honey

and drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;

in keeping them there is great reward.

Reflection:

God’s Word is true. Perfect, absolute, never-changing truth. This Psalm reminds us that simple, pure refreshment comes from the Word of God. His Word will bring us life and hope. It will sweeten our days and direct our steps. It will bring blessings when obeyed and restore us to the Lord when we falter. When life confuses us and sin comes knocking, turn to the Word of God. It will be your cleansing light. Following God’s Word will be a worthy cause that in the end always brings a great reward.
