August 13 – From Promise to Reward

“The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.” Psalm 19:9b-11 (NASB)

We have selected three verse passage today from Psalm 19.  It is in these verses we find our promise while all the words are promises we point out some of them. God has been so faithful for all time to reveal His will through His Word in the Scriptures.  David, who wrote this psalm states that the judgments of the Lord are true and right in total.  In fact, David compares their value to fine gold by stating that God's word is more desirable than gold and sweeter than fresh honey.  This was David's experience and he gives his testimony.  We read these verses especially because of the last words in v. 11.  God gives us instructions in His Word because He wants us to be warned by them and to receive great reward that comes to us from keeping them.  God wants His word to become a part of our lives every day and promises us great reward if we do so.
