A Meditation on Psalm 19

All the world is shouting the glory of the Lord: from the flowers of the fields, to the snow of the mountains.

          
The heavens display all God’s good work for all to see from every corner of our world.

We scorn laws in our daily lives as restrictions; as intrusions keeping us away from our freedoms.

The law of the Lord, though is perfect.  The rituals of the Lord; the prayers of our days, the festivals of our lives are all reminders of the ways the Lord has been just and redeemed us in the past.

Keeping the law of the Lord through prayer, and meditation is sweeter than honey to us, dear God.

Oh Christ, my rock and redeemer, let the meditations of our hearts that are the rituals of our days, be acceptable to you, O Lord.

We pray this, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
