Summer in the Psalms Week 12 - Psalm 19 | Sermon 8/10/25

Aug 10, 2025    Jeff Luther

This Psalm highlights God’s character understood through His Creation (vs. 1- 6) and through His Word (vs. 7-11). It then moves into understanding our great need for our Lord to help us (vs. 12-14), culminating with the hopeful reality we have with the Lord as our firm and steadfast Rock and Redeemer.    


There is a grandeur in nature that leaves us awe-struck, it shows us how big and powerful and creative God is. While God’s glory appears much in the works of creation, it is shown even more through the words of scripture. The scriptures give us a more complete and intimate knowledge of the character of God. As we come to understand God more deeply, we realize how small, ignorant and powerless we truly are. The beautiful thing is we are not left hopeless and discouraged, because while our God is big and majestic, He is also a kind and merciful Savior. He has invited us to know Him and be known by Him. He does not leave us to fend for ourselves but helps us. 


May this be our daily plea; that the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts bring glory to our worthy God.
