Threefold declaration — Psalm 19

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. vv. 1-2

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. v. 7

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. v. 14

The daily pattern of the created order, the written Word and the life of the reforming saint speak in harmony of the glory of God. The daily, regular pattern of “morning and evening” is a confirmation of the faithfulness of God. The law is, likewise, a perfect reflection of the character of God and His power. Only the saint must keep watch and reform, and seek to live in harmony with what is already perfect — the divine intention.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. — Philippians 2:12-13
