The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. – Psalm 19:8
Books are published every day: DIY books, cookbooks, political commentaries, memoirs, and novels. The range of subjects is varied, and the veracity of many may be questionable. Bible commentator Matthew Henry wrote that “there are two excellent books which the great God has published for the instruction and edification of the child of men.”
The first is the book of Creation, visible every day as the order in the heavens gives glory to God. The magnitude of stars is beyond comprehension. His creatures bear complexities beyond human understanding, and the human body is so intricately and wonderfully made that complete understanding of it is still not within grasp. However, since there is sin in this world, this first book is hampered in its ability to point the way to an understanding of the Creator and what is expected of those created in His image.
Psalm 19 presents the second book of God – Scripture – as the revelation of who God is and what He expects of His children, as well as what His children can expect from Him. The Bible illuminates sin and the Savior, evil and good, the righteousness of God and His grace for the sinner. These are made clear in His law and testimony, His precepts, commandments, and rules, and His instructions to offer Him the reverence that is due Him. The earthly ministry of Jesus further unveils the mercy, grace, comfort, healing, and truth of God.
The Word of God inspires hope. Pray as you study to obey it and you will grow to love it and delight in following the Lord’s direction. Intercede now for those, especially governing officials of this nation, who have disregarded Him to discover the best Book ever. May they accept it and grow to value it more than fine gold.

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
