Psalm 19 [updated]

The (A)heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their (B)expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2Day to (C)day pours forth speech,
And (D)night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4Their [a](E)line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world
In them He has (F)placed a tent for the sun,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6Its (G)rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7(H)The law of the LORD is [b](I)perfect, (J)restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is (K)sure, making (L)wise the simple.
8The precepts of the LORD are (M)right, (N)rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is (O)pure, (P)enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are (Q)true; they are (R)righteous altogether.
10They are more desirable than (S)gold, yes, than much fine gold;
(T)Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11Moreover, by them (U)Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great (V)reward.
12Who can (W)discern his errors? (X)Acquit me of (Y)hidden faults.
13Also keep back Your servant (Z)from presumptuous sins;
Let them not (AA)rule over me;
Then I will be [c](AB)blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of (AC)great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and (AD)the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, (AE)my rock and my (AF)Redeemer.

Hey! Here’s the answer! Straight from the bible. The question why did God
make the universe so big? There seemed to be no reason for it. And of course the answer is for his glory (as is everything). But specifically here it says, “The (A)heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their (B)expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 2Day to (C)day pours forth speech, And (D)night to night reveals knowledge. 3There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.” How cool is that? Simply in their wondrous mind boggling beauty they declare the glory of God. And I also really like how the Lord is like an all-healing medicine cream. I can almost imagine it in an infomercial-who could resist something that is perfect, enlightening, clean, true, righteous, sweeter than honey, more desirable than gold. I imagine it would have the most alluring fragrance and would just glow. You know? The bible is kinda like God’s infomercial. Its his way of telling the world how wonderful he is. The bible is even the most printed, best selling book of all kind. But what is the use of buying the advertisement but not the prize? Not only do you obtain this absolutely amazing God but all your transgressions are forgotten! May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart grow to be worthy of so great a prize.
