The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple (Psalm 19:7).
God gave the Law to the people as a way to reveal Himself to Israel and establish His covenant with them. The words were true and powerful, and when put into effect would establish Israel in God’s presence. In other words, the Law was perfect, reflecting the integrity of God.
The Word of God provided something tangible and solid, unchanging in a world where everything else was in constant change. The contrast to the wayward ways of humanity was refreshing.
God’s Word is trustworthy, reliable, and able to establish the person who follows it. Without God’s revelation, the lost remained lost, wandering through life in ignorance. But with the Word of God in hand and heart, even the simplest by comparison can be made wise.
Father, help me to hear Your Word with fresh ears and a submissive heart.
