Ichose to meditate on and pray Psalms 19 and 139 making them personal. I thought of the solitude of the psalmist and my own moments of solitude and reflection. Those were times of earnest and fervent prayers of thanksgiving. I thought of times when I actually stopped to behold the marvels of God's creations. I realized that God does not withold His beauty from us. I was reminded of a book I read titled "Seeking Eden". The author was attempting to provide a physical location for the Garden of Eden. But as I read these psalms, I concluded that we are in the midst of eden, but we are so busy, seeking the lost garden, that we dont take time to appreciate the eden that is all around us, everywhere we look if we just take the time as the psalmist did, we will behold the miracles of God's creations and know the awesome power and majesty of the father. I gave thanks to the God that is with me always, that knows my heart. I asked God to instill in me the qualities of the psalmist so that I too could have a heart after God.

This Psalm tells of the majesty of God. It tells us that God has instilled us with wisdom from infancy to know him and give Him praise. That we are empowered to withstand the wiles of Satan described in this passage as the enemy seeking revenge. It tells us that God does not withhold his creations and beauty from us. That we have treasures here on earth if we only take the time to appreciate the beauty of God's creations. That he esteems us, that he considers us worthy by the value He places on us. The Psalm tells us that God made us a little lowere than the angels and crowned us with glory and honor. That through Jesus Christ we have power, dominion and authority over all things. The Psalm also tells us that we have to be like Christ, humbling ourselves, willing to die for each other, always lift each other us, not be prideful and to be wise stewards of the things that we have been given authority over.
