Psalm 19:7-11
The world is always changing but the Word of God stays the same. God never had a beginning and he created time...everything he says is eternal. Here are 2 things to look at: 1) authority of God's word and 2) Power of God's word.
God's word is sweeter than honey. Back then, honey was extremely precious, only kings could afford to have it. Verse 7 says his testimony is PURE. God has authority to talk about whatever he wants and in any way he wants. His perspective on anything is a true perspective. God's testimony is eternal and unchangeable. Verse 8 talks about the precepts and commands of God, which says that God can tell you that you're wrong.
Verse 9 talks about REVERENTIAL fear of the Lord. Basically, that means when God speaks, you SHUT UP and you LISTEN. *Job 38* Reverent fear is pure. It's right. It's good. We should want a reverent fear of the Lord.
Verse 7 talks about the Law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul. Our souls are THIRSTY. Nothing is enough (Law of Diminishing Returns, anyone??) Our souls need to be quenched and the word of the Lord can quench it's thirst.
Listen to the God who NEVER moves, NEVER changes. Bring light to the eyes-- it lets you see who you are. The fear of the Lord is clean and endures forever.
