Psalm 19
Father, how majestic You are! Creation reveals You to mankind -- good and evil alike. All day long, and all night, the natural order shouts out "I am here". The heavens truly do declare the glory of God v1. The sun, clouds, the movement of nature are constantly saying that You exist and care for us. Nothing is hidden--You are not hidden v6.
And then, Your Word is so perfect that just reading it revives the soul v7. Sometimes I am slow to sit down and engage Your Word, but I am always glad that I did…even when it points out sins or failures that I have because it cleanses me, too. Only Your amazing Word could amplify sin then cleanse it, too. You truly are wonderful. This humble, redeemed human being wants to praise You this morning. Today, Lord, I pray that even the meditations of my heart -- that no one else hears -- will be acceptable to You v14. It takes a Redeemer like You to break sin's hold and bring a person into a relationship with His Creator.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, the risen Savior of all who believe, I pray for a hedge of protection around my family today; around my church family -- every adult and every child; and for the leaders of this country -- for their spiritual awakening to the truth of Your Word. It's revealed in the universe around them if they would only see it.

Thanks for sharing part of your daily devotional on your blog. I have been reading it and reading the same Psalms each day too. I'm praying vs. 13 for me...keep me from willful sin...do not let it rule over me LORD but instead let Your Spirit rule over me.
