Thank you very much for sharing your reflections.

I like what you said here:

I wanted to really know what perfect meant. So I went back and I got all the Hebrew lexicons off my shelf and I remember spending several hours chasing this word ‘perfect’ all over the place, trying to wring out of it everything that I could so I would have a grasp of it. And after many hours of study, I came to the conclusion that what it means is perfect. A bit disappointing after all the effort, but that’s exactly what it means…perfect.” He qualifies that as meaning–not as opposed to imperfect but as opposed to incomplete.

Vs. 7 references God’s “perfect” law and I think He did that purposefully with knowledge of how the pagans would try to interprest verse 6. Verse 6 states of the sun: ”His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” Pagan scientists/theologians love to scorn this verse, and in doing so, show their ignorance even further. They inaccurately represent this verse as teaching the pagan belief that the sun goes around the earth rather than the earth rotating around the sun, and claim that the Bible authors adopted this belief. Funny enough, these scorners show their foolishness by making such comments that are ”intellectual light years” behind the Almighty God who created the sun which he described in verse 6. The sun in fact does revolve in a circle on the end of the heaven but not around the earth as the pagan scorners claim this verse teaches (this verse doesn’t say the earth anywhere, but instead the heaven). The sun rotates around the center of the heavens which we call the Milky Way galactic center. The sun is going around these heavens in a full circle every 200-250 million years at a speed of half a million miles per hour … aren’t you glad God is in control? . The sun is said to be 283,815,000,000,000,000,000 miles away from the center of the Milky Way. The pagan scorners can’t refute the ”perfect law” of God once the facts are presented. Pagans think they get smarter in their science as they step from stories of Zeus and Thor making thunderstorms to beliefs that men came from monkeys, but each time they continue to show their foolishness, while God has them in derision and laughs the wicked to scorn in their feeble attempts to deny His existence. See photos of the sun revolving around the Milky Way online if you google for “milky way” “sun” “revolving”. (sorry for the length of this message)

[...] Reflections on Psalm 19:7-10 – I worked on this over a period of weeks. It’s by far the most time I spent on a post and was by far the most rewarding to spend so much time on part of my favorite Psalm. It’s fitting with the name of this blog. [...]

I’m sure you’ll be blessed from the sermons, especially with Andrew’s Australian accent. It is great spending time, working through His Word – it is so enriching. Being disciplined to put it together in a post adds another dimension to it as well. I’m glad blogging is serving to edify you, and I’m sure your readers too.

Thanks for the comment and links. I've download the sermons and will listen to them sometime.

The post got pretty long so I didn't make any general comments on the whole Psalm or its divisions but I'm glad you mention it.

This was by far the most time I've ever spent working on a blog post and it was by far the most rewarding for me.

Some good reflections. An important point is that v. 7 begins the contrast of God's Word (special revelation) with that of God's Creation (general revelation) found in v.1-6 - and we know general revelation can't save anyone, but only leave us without excuse, whereas God's special revelation, His Word, can "restore the soul".A great sermon I heard on this was preached by my Co-Blogger at Cal.vini.st. It is free to download. God Has Spoken - Part 1 & God Has Spoken Part 2.
