Psalm 19 (12 of 18 notes)

The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

8. The statutes of the Lordare fight. His precepts and decrees are founded in righteousness, and are such as are right or fitted to the right reason of man. As a physician gives the right medicine, and a counselor the right advice, so does the Book of God. Rejoicingthe heart. Mark the progress; he who was converted was next made wise and is now made happy; that truth which makes the heart right then gives joy to the right heart. Free grace brings heart-joy. The commandment of the Lord is pure. No mixture of error defiles it, no stain of sin pollutes it; it is the unadulterated milk, the undiluted wine. Enlightening the eyes. Purging away by its own purity the earthly grossness which mars the intellectual discernment; whether the eye be dim with sorrow or with sin, the Scripture is a skillfull oculist, and makes the eye clear and bright. Look at the sun and it puts out your eyes; look at the more than sunlight of Revelation and it enlightens them. It is well again to observe the gradation; the convert became a disciple and next a rejoicing soul; he now obtains a discerning eye, and as a spiritual person discerns all things, though he himself is discerned by no one.
