WONDROUS THINGS OUT OF GOD’S LAW
What do you want to see? Do you want to go as far north as Siberia to see the wintry beauty of the earth? Man’s eyes are not satisfied with wonderful sights. He even wants to discover the moon and the planets to see what are there. He further desires to explore the next galaxy to discover the unique sights there. Never will man’s eyes see enough. It keeps on looking for more and for greater things. But have you ever wondered what is the greatest sight that man has not seen? This is hidden from all except to him whose eyes are opened. Since birth, man cannot appreciate it. Only when he is born-again, can he see it.
Open Thou mine eyes: The psalmist prays to God for his eyes to be opened. As a believer, he can see it. He can appreciate it and can decipher the beauty of it. But, he is not satisfied with just mere seeing, he wants to discover more. He wants to go deeper and witness the promises of the Word. He asks for God to disclose even more of the graces and mercies of Himself hidden in His Word. He is likened to a gold digger who wants to seek more of the precious metal. He craves for more of it because it is priceless. He does not seek for others to see. He wants to see it for himself. He is not selfish but his love for the Word of God causes him to want to be the first consumer, that he may get the best of it.
That I may behold: The prayer is for him to behold, that he may look intently and consider the goodness of it. With pleasure, he wants to inspect it. He knows that there are still glitters of care and kindness in it. His heart goes for the inner beauty of it and he wants to scan it with his own eyes. To him these are wonderful things, these are marvellous to him, and he does not desire that it be hidden from him. He wants to watch and be pleased with the miraculous accounts in God’s Word. He ascribes to the truth of the testimonies of the characters it describes. How they lived and how they survived. How the saints are delivered and how they are to be raptured to be with God for eternity.
Dear reader, realise the bottomless richness of the Word and its wonders.
THOUGHT: What is my attitude toward the Word of God?
PRAYER: O Father, make me see the great wonders of Thy Word and let me see far more so that I may praise Thee more.
