The Wondrous Works and Word of God

The Wonders of God’s World

God reveals himself in the heavens through general revelation

Psalm 19:1–6 LSG

Les cieux racontent la gloire de Dieu, Et l’étendue manifeste l’oeuvre de ses mains. Le jour en instruit un autre jour, La nuit en donne connaissance à une autre nuit. Ce n’est pas un langage, ce ne sont pas des paroles Dont le son ne soit point entendu: Leur retentissement parcourt toute la terre, Leurs accents vont aux extrémités du monde, Où il a dressé une tente pour le soleil. Et le soleil, semblable à un époux qui sort de sa chambre, S’élance dans la carrière avec la joie d’un héros; Il se lève à une extrémité des cieux, Et achève sa course à l’autre extrémité: Rien ne se dérobe à sa chaleur.

The Wonders of God’s Word

Now He reveals Himself in the word Special revelation.

Psalm 19:7–11 NASB95

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.

This is the proper response to God ‘s revelation.

Psalm 19:12–14 NASB95

Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
