PSALM 19 God is Glorified


The community which prays Psalm 19 is a faith community
involving fellowship in obedience.
 We contemplate Psalm 19 with a desire to observe the rule
 made explicit in the words we sing regularly..

 A modern Jewish translation of Psalm 19:15 reads;-

May the words of my mouth, and the meditations
of my heart, fulfill Your will,
Adonai,  my Rock and my Redeemer.

At every new dawn, this obedient, contemplative community
is addressed by our creator,  and every night, endless galaxies
display the majesty of our God, for all to see,

So here we have a whole community of people
who seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
This is a people who give real priority to applying
the precepts of the living God to the social. political and moral
fabric of our community.

One nation under God would be the body of Christ made visible.
Each individual who is faithful to growing in grace
and in the knowledge of God
is a member of this obedient community.
In the power of the Holy Spirit, this is made possible.
It is because we seek first the Kingdom of God
and all these things are added unto us !
allelu   alleluia.
The source of spiritual  light in our lives is a witness.
The law of God which gives moral cohesion to our community,
is a witness.  Our steadfast love is a witness.
To us the Psalms are a gift and a source of physical, emotional,
and intellectual strength and spiritual transformation :
restoring the Spirit; making the simple wise, gladdening the heart,
and filling the eyes with light.....and that is just from Psalm no 19 !

Consistency in belief among members of the community
augments, strengthens our own attitudes
and reinforces the witness of the whole group, in which
The Father, the Son , and the Holy Spirit are active together
in continuous creation.

Psalm 84: 12   NCV
The LORD GOD serves as our sun and our shield
the LORD showers us with grace and glory.
He does not withhold any good thing
from those who walk in integrity.

In the heavens 
 He has placed a tent for the sun. Psalm 19:5

The whole of the starry heavens is the tent of His presence !
When we walk in all God has given us,
   and walk in all God has done for us,
        God is glorified.
