Making wise the simple
Benefits of heeding the Lord's law
They are many. The benefits of reading and listening and learning and obeying the Lord's Good Law are rich, deep and life-sustaining.
The Creator, after all, does know how the human soul flourishes.
"The law of the LORD is perfect; reviving the soul;
the decrees of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple; (And who doesn't want to be wise)
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; (tickled pink? I'm in.)
the commandment of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eyes; (so we can see where we are going)
the fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is your servant warned; (and who doesn't want to be warned of danger?)
In keeping them there is great reward." Psalm 19:7-11
The "great reward" of heeding God's peaceable instruction includes a renewed soul, wisdom, joy, enlightened insight, priceless treasure, sweetness and safety. Is there a better path?

The heavens are speaking
The heavens are telling the glory of GOD;
and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.
Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
Psalm 19
God is speaking. Continually through what He has made. Are we listening? Are we observing? His Voice cannot be extinguished. His fingerprints upon His creation can, temporarily, be ignored. But the rising and setting sun, the clinging of a newborn's fingertips, and a thousand other testaments give concrete evidence that the Father is near. Creating. Always creating.
"The world itself pours out on us wordless speech about GOD. In our wordy, busy lives we can learn a lot by listening more closely to creation's voices." The Life With God Bible
If we hear the Creator's Whisperings through nature,
we will worship.
