Summer message series has begun, as we move from Psalm 1 (last week) to Psalm 19 (this week) –  an easy transition!  Last week we saw God’s wisdom revealed in the fabric of the creation – from the universe to the human body, in both the natural and moral order.  God’s design reveals the wisdom of God in his created designs and plans for the world.  One area of wisdom where God’s design and created purposes are revealed, experienced and seen is the blessings and curses that come from our thoughts and behaviors, the pathways of choices and directions of our will.  God reveals one thing for sure in Psalm 1: ‘Blessed is the one who delights (rejoices) and meditates (thoughts and actions included) on God’s word and ways.  That one is like a tree planted by streams of water… produces fruit, leaves are always green, there is blessing!”

What better place to go from here (Psalm 1) than there (Psalm 19).  Psalm 19 reveals God’s two great ‘reads’ of revelation: Creation and Scripture.  What more does anyone need to read?  If you are a part of a summer book reading club – these two are a must!

Psalm 19, a beautifully written song of God’s two great books of revelation, leads us to a surprising end: asking for forgiveness and a heart focused on the worship of God.
