A Portrait of Scripture

Perhaps the clearest picture of the Power of Scripture was painted by a shepherd boy on a grassy hill in the Middle East 3,000 years ago.

Unquestionably the most majestic and awesome affirmation of the Divine Scriptures is in Psalm 19. As we turn there think with me. . . how did David the shepherd boy, a man after God’s own heart, arrive at such an incredible understanding of the Word? Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (KJV) In Hebrew hashe-mayim mesaperim-kevoth-ale The heavens are shouting the glory of their Almighty Creator God. WHEN YOU COME TO PSALM 19 GOD SAYS THE HEAVENS ARE SHOUTING THE WONDERS OF THEIR CREATOR!

As a boy he had chosen to focus his heart upon the study of God’s two great books: NATURE and SCRIPTURE. Think of this, so careful was David’s study of these two, he compares and contrasts them. He magnifies the wondrous character and person of the Author in both!
