Q2. (Psalm 19)
Verses 1 to 6 seem very different from verses 7 to 13, but there is a common thread that relates the first part to the second part. What is it? In what way does the psalmist seem to bask in God's Word? Have you ever felt that way? How does the psalmist's wonder in creation seem to affect him in this psalm? In the classic prayer of verse 14, what is David asking God to do?
The first part of the psalm is seen to glorify the Lord through His perfect creation. To remind us of His greatness and His glory and splendour in His perfect creation to make everything perfectly right for us humans to live in. The second part speaks about a God who truly is fair, just, loving and kind o us, His creation. This also brings in a perfect praise and worship to the Almighty.
In this life on earth, when everything seems not the way we want it to be, we do fail to see the greatness of the Lord before we actually drown in self pity of ourselves. I have had that experience where I did not look up to the Most Mighty God we have who waits to listen to us. We are His unworthy creatures that He so loves, and we must come humbly to the throne of the Lord, seeking His Love, guidance and His will in our lives. When we do this and always seek Him, He shall let His Will be clear to us and we are rid of those confusion due to our ignorance previously.
David seems to humbly plead to God that His prayer be acceptable to the Most Magnificent God. It is to humble ourselves to the Lord, knowing we, unworthy as we are, have the grace to come before Him, to praise and adore Him in His glory and splendour.
