LESSONS OF JOB
(Part 10)
THE HEAVENS AND THE GLORY OF GOD
Today's reading brings
us to Psalm 19. It is all about God's glory. God told Job about His
glory, and challenged Job regarding his knowledge (or ignorance)
about His creative work, in and beyond the world (Job 38:1-38). In
Psalm 19, David looks to the heavens and is awed, as the heavens
point to their Creator. "The heavens declare the glory of God;
the sky proclaims its builder's craft." (Ps 19:2). The heavens,
in all their beauty and grandeur, speak of the power and wisdom of
God.
But God is not just in the heavens. God is also actively present in
the lives of people on earth. God is concerned about His people, His
creatures. God wants them to experience His awesome majesty, but
also to be able to live in abundance according to His plan. So God
gives us His law, His commandments, His way of living. His law is
perfect and trustworthy, and gives wisdom while refreshing the soul
(Ps 19:8). God's awesome majesty results in reverential fear on our
part, humbles us, and prepares us to receive and live out His word.
And His awesome majesty and His law point us to some of His
essential characteristics, that He is righteous and just. "The
fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the Lord
are true, all of them just" (Ps 19:10). If the God who created
the awesome universe is just and righteous, then, if we only follow
Him and obey His law, we will never go astray. If the One who
created the vast and limitless universe is concerned about us, then
we know we are in the best of hands. If we are in the best of hands,
then no adversity or suffering can ever faze us again.
God bless you all.
