“The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.”
Psalm 19:7 (NIV)
David calls the Law perfect - that is with no defect.
David calls the Law perfect- that is complete in every way.
How could it be incomplete or defective, for this Law comes from the Creator?
We look into the heavens and consider the testimony of the stars, and then focus in on our star - the one we call the sun.
Surely if there was a defect in the heavens – the heavens would come crashing down.
Surely if there was a defect in the sun- it would not follow its course - and we would not live.
NO - the heavens and the sun give testimony to the perfection of the Creator and therefore the Law – the Words of the Creator given to the created - is perfect without defect, complete in every way.
This view of the Law is hard to find among Christians today, and yet it was the view of our Lord.
He did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.
Oh Lord may we see the Law with your eyes.
May we humble ourselves under your Law.
May we declare your glory without words.
