Are you looking for encouragement? Do you need a little boost today amid all the bad news coming your way? The psalmist David can lift your spirit in an unexpected way through some words we often think of as negative.
When we read Psalm 19, we discover a short listing of ways that the Lord’s clearly defined “law,” or standards for living, can bring positive results. This is unlikely encouragement, for some see God’s standards as restrictive and as robbing us of happiness.
Here are some words the psalmist used for God’s standards: “law of the Lord” (v.7), “testimony” (v.7), “statutes” (v.8), “commandments” (v.8), “fear of the Lord” (v.9), and “judgments” (v.9). These words have an ominous sound that causes many people to want to avoid or reject them.
But notice what these things bring to the believing, obedient heart: conversion of the soul, wisdom, rejoicing of the heart, purity of life, enlightenment of the eyes, endurance, truth, and righteousness (vv.7-9). That’s great encouragement! No wonder David said about God’s law that He’s given to us, “More to be desired are they than gold . . . sweeter also than honey” (v.10).
Read: Psalm 19:7-11

Good evening everyone.
Beautiful pics tonight, Ma!
I attended the funeral of my Uncle Ernest today.
He was my Poppas younger brother.
It was a very beautiful service.
He had a long career as an LEO, and had also served in the Air Force.
So, his procession had a full police escort, and also there were two young men from the Air Force there.
One played a beautiful rendition of Taps, then together they unfolded the flag, refolded it, and gave it to my Aunt.
*sniff*
My little family gets smaller every year.
