Psalm 19
In psalm 19, there are three things shown about God. From verse 1-6, God is revealed through nature - we can learn about His power and our finiteness. Nature, which its design, intricacy and orderliness, shows that there is a God, since it's very impossible that nature came to be by chance. But though nature shows the existence of God, we are still needed to explain the bible, God' love and mercy, and how to have a relationship with God.
From verse 7-11, God is revealed through scriptures - we learn about His holiness and our sinfulness. We often think that law will restrict us, stop us from having fun and make our lives boring. But on the contrary, God meant for laws to revive us, make us wise, give joy to our hearts and light to our eyes, warn and reward us. How can that be? Because, law really point at danger and warns us, then point at success and guide us.
Verse 12-14 says that God is revealed through daily experiences - we learn about His gracious forgiveness and our salvation. Guilt can bring us before God and keep us behaving properly. But we must be careful not to allow guilt to cripple us and make us fearful... remember God forgives ALL sins, those we know and those we committed unknowingly.
Ending of to remind us of verse 14 again, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of our mouths be pleasing onto the Lord. =)
