Unchanging God - Reflections on Your Words Are Wonderful (Psalm 119)

Psalm 119 extols the glories of God's Word, articulating the delights and bene- fits that come to those who treasure and meditate upon it. Several connections are made throughout the psalm that find their ultimate and glorious fulfillment in Christ.For example, the psalm connects the Word of God and life: “My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word!” (v. 25) “This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life” (v. 50). Christ is the Word of God and life is found in him alone (John 1:1-4). Understanding this, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68).The psalm also reveals the critical connection between God's Word and our hearts. “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (v. 11). “Incline my heart to your testimonies” (v. 36). In Christ, the Word of God is written upon our hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 10:16).Finally, the psalm connects the Word of God to our hope. “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word” (v. 114). “Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope” (v. 49). Christ himself, the living Word, now dwells in us as our hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).If God gives us eyes to see and ears to hear, we can expect his Word to fill our hearts with the life and hope found only in Christ.

Unchanging God - Reflections on Bless The Lord O My Soul (Psalm 103)

Take a moment now to stop and consider all your failings, mistakes, and sins from the past week. All the anger, irritation, and impatience. All the selfishness, greed, and lust. Add to that list all the good you could have done but didn't, all the moments of wasted time, missed opportunities for mercy, and worship ignored.Imagine if the Almighty God was holding all of that against you, ready to judge, condemn, and punish you. It's a terrifying and crippling thought, isn't it?But now consider this. Through faith in the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ, all your sins and transgressions are washed away by the overwhelming waves of God's forgiveness. Our many sins are forgotten and remembered no more. They are cast “as far as the east is from the west” (v. 12). Not only this, but we are treated with fatherly compassion (v. 13), we are satisfied with good (v. 5), and our youth is renewed like the eagle's (v. 5)!What is the only appropriate response to such good news? An outpouring of full-throated, unrestrained praise and worship! How can we not cry out “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name” (v. 1)?! How can we not demand our soul “forget not all his benefits” (v. 2)?!Take time now to pause beneath the cross of Jesus Christ where God demon- strated his covenantal love and favor toward you. Thank him for his mercy and grace. Rejoice and tremble before him. Then rise up to tell those around you of this love, and invite them to join all creation in the never-ending song of blessing the Lord!
