LastCall: THE CAPSTONE OF CREATION -Bob Coy

THE CAPSTONE OF CREATION

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul? -Psalm 19:7 (NKJV)

Psalm 19 is one of the most interesting Psalms in the Bible. It begins by describing the grandeur and glory of God's creation in the first six verses. Our eyes are drawn toward the handiwork of the heavens, the splendor of the sun, toward things above and beyond our ability to fathom.

And then, without warning, the Psalm switches gears and goes into a discourse on, of all things, the law of the Lord. Doesn't that seem somewhat anti-climactic? We begin with the beauty and majesty of creation and then we end with...the law?

Far from being anti-climactic, there's a powerful point being made here. For as awesome as the stars in the sky are, and as glorious as the galaxies are, they all pale in comparison to the law of the Lord, because the law of the Lord possesses the power to do what nothing else in the entire universe can. It can convert the soul.

The natural created order gets our attention. It opens our eyes. But it's the law, or the Word of God, that informs and transforms our hearts. It alone goes down deep into our heart and spirit, where our deepest difficulties reside, where we aren't even able to discern what's wrong with us...it's here that the law of the Lord, the capstone of creation, goes to work in us in a way that saves us:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV)

What does this passage reveal to me about God?

What does this passage reveal to me about myself?

Based on this, what changes do I need to make?

What is my prayer for today?
