Dear Sister Azure: Have you ever read John Gill's commentary on Plasm 19:7-14? I would highly recommend it to anyone! Gill does a really beautiful job. Hear is just one example of his wonderful exposion on these virses. God bless John the link: http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ Psalms 19:11 Ver. 11. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned,.... By whom the psalmist means himself, who was the servant of the Lord, not only in common with other saints, but as he was a king and prophet, and as such he received advantage from the word of God; all his instructions as a prophet, and all his rules of government as a king; and the whole of that wisdom, prudence, and knowledge, with which the conducted in both offices, were from the Lord by his word: and it may be applied to any servant of the Lord, and especially in an ecclesiastical office, as an apostle of Christ, and minister of the word; who serve God in the Gospel of his Son, and, by means of the Scriptures, are furnished for every good work; and also to believers in Christ in common; who, of whatsoever rank and quality, in whatsoever state and condition of life, whether high or low, rich or poor, bond or free, are Christ's servants; and whatsoever is written is for their instruction, and by the word of God they are "warned"; the Scriptures are a way mark to them, to direct them in a right way, and to caution them against turning to the right or left; either to immoral practices, or the errors and heresies of wicked men: it is a lamp to their feet, and a light to their path, and teaches them to walk circumspectly, and warns them of rocks, gins, and snares in the way; or, as the words may be rendered, "by them is thy servant made clear", or "bright"; so the word is used in Da 12:3; that is, in his understanding: the psalmist confirms, by his own experience, what he had said before of the word, Ps 19:8; that it enlightened the eyes: the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shining into the heart gives the light of the glory of God in the person of Christ; it illuminates and irradiates the mind, and gives clear ideas of the glory and perfections of God, of his counsels and covenant, of his works of nature and of grace; and makes a bright discovery of the person, offices, and grace of Christ; and of the blessed Spirit, and his operations; and of the blessings of grace, and of eternal glory and happiness; http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ |

Dear John, Thank you very much. By the way, have you read "Reflections on the Psalms" by C.S. Lewis? I bought the book (Chinese edition) few years ago and only read it once. Later I lended it to a friend but have not got it back yet. I would recommend it to you without reservation and I am intending to buy another copy, maybe an English version this time, for re-reading. I also know that Doc highly recommend Spurgeon's exposition on Psalms, but I have not had the time to read it yet. Shalom Azure |

Hi Azure: No I haven't read it, but I would love to! C.S.Lewis is one of my favorites! Please give me your friend's e-mail or phone number, and I'll try to wrench that copy out of their fist! But I guess then I would have to learn to read Chinese! :-) I'll certainly check out Spurgeon's exposition as well. Thanks Sis. | ||||||

Hi John: I thought of the word (delight) , these are the ones that came up, couldn't think of any better things to delight in. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 112:1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. Psalm 119:16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. Psalm 119:24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors. Psalm 119:35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Psalm 119:47 for I delight in your commands because I love them. Psalm 119:77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight. Psalm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. Psalm 119:143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight. Psalm 119:174 I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight. Romans 7:22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; God Bless Jim |
