In vss 1-6 it talks of how God speaks through creation and vss 7-13 how He speaks through His written word. The common thread is HE SPEAKS! The Psalmist basks in God's word by describing the benefits of God's word--"reviving the soul" "making wise the simple" " giving joy to the heart" "giving light to the eyes" ; it "endures forever" and "is altogether righteous". Yes I am felt that way--it has revived me, given me joy and understanding. But best of all it has given me hope and taught me to trust because it endures forever and my spirit knows it is righteous. God's creation affects the psalmist (and me) because of the Creator Himself who created this majestic universe and world--it is glorious, but His glory and Word are even more desirous--more valuable and precious than gold and sweeter than honey. It is free to us and we need to eat of it. In vs 14, David is asking God to accept the praises and prayers from his lips and his heart. I want the same.

The psalm teaches us that God is all powerful, such a Marvelous Creator; He puts so much detail in His creation. Even though we are small in His creation, He loves us so much that He wants us to take part in His plan. We humans have strength against the enemy when we use HIs marvelous majestic Name!! God humbled Himself when He came to earth to be lower than some of His creation (the angels) so that He could bring us back to Himself. He took our sin and died a humiliating death on the cross, but what a joy for us. He came back and then sent His Holy Spirit. We have the responsibility to be stewards and ministers of His creation and to take the power and use it wisely as He gave us. But above all to love, honor and give Him glory.
