ere are 176 verses (divided into 22 sections and comprised of almost 2500 words) devoted to one theme: the revelation of God's thoughts. We think differently than God does… and, that's not ok. We have to learn to see His perspective... at least, to see it as much as He is willing to reveal it to us. He has revealed Himself to us in several ways: in nature, through our conscience, in the person of His Son, through the Spirit's work in the church, in Israel and - most obviously - through the Bible (Psalm 138:2). In this psalm, we find a conglomeration of vocabulary words used in reference to God's spoken and written words: His testimonies, judgments, precepts, ordinances, truth, law, commandments, statutes, ways and works. When the psalm is read it should prompt us to do several things with the Bible: obey it, pay attention to it, devote ourselves to its Author, broadcast it, study it, love it, interpret it correctly, apply it, and enjoy it. We must never doubt it. We should never resist it.
