BOTH PSALM 19 and PSALM 119 instruct us that the Word of the Lord is the best place to learn the sacred way of living.

James L. Mays says of this psalm, "The world (gives witness) to God.  The creation manifests the glory of its creator.  The psalm offers us...a vision of poetic imaginative personification.  It is based on the notion, not uncommon in biblical thinking, that every created thing has the capacity of a creature to acknowledge its originator" (20).

In support of Mays' interpretation, Romans 1:19-20 says, "For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.  For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.  So they are without excuse."

Praying through the Psalms is a Guide to Contemplative Prayer using Anglican Prayer Beads.  You may use prayer beads or simply listen and pray without prayer beads.  We recommend engaging your body through touch, using prayer beads as you embrace these ancient prayers of God's people. Episode 1 offers more instruction as to how to use prayer beads and why.
