“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” - Psalm 19:14
It should be the desire of each believer to honor God with his thoughts, words and deeds. We are to acknowledge the goodness and greatness of our Lord through the lives we live. Living for God isn’t something that we do glibly or on occasion. We are to strive to know Him through His word and then live out the precepts that are written therein. It’s the only way to have any sense of who God is or what is required of us. It’s this way that we know His promises are etched in stone and stand forever.
David refers to God as his rock and redeemer. The Lord is our immovable bedrock, the never changing foundation on which we may build our lives. Why would we want to do that? Because He and He alone is our redeemer. Scripture declares that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The only way to be forgiven of our sins is to receive that gift of grace that God freely offers. Redemption is found in no other. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
