Psalm 19
Amplified Bible (AMP)

Psalm 19
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork.
2 Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor spoken word [from the stars]; their voice is not heard.

4 Yet their voice [in evidence] goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world. Of the heavens has God made a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; and it rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

6 Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing [yes, no one] is hidden from the heat of it.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.

9 The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them is Your servant warned (reminded, illuminated, and instructed); and in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his lapses and errors? Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults.

13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.


i'm particularly taken with this psalm at the moment... i like the deafness confounding .... the incipience of Creation manifesting into space and time there is a sense of out of conscious, unconscious, self conscious, connectedness.... out of dust we are made.. out of dust we are created and that dust of the making of the maker the form the maker formed the purity of essence of GOD speaking out and beyond.... is anyone listening can anyone hear does anyone want to hear like the sound is there deep within the sound of silence a silence that is? cannot be? really silence... a silence that is both sound and silence... meaning and not meaning..... i love that the speech of GOD the Word is not what we make of it but what it makes of us... it has effects effects beyond conditions effects that release us give us release into a state of ... well that GOD state that knowing that you are touched by GOD because of how it feels it bypasses completely the works of man and inevitably is not dependent on man.... man afterall is there as helper and not necessarily the most helpful of helpers but born with consciousness that can recognise GOD in GOD's Love and can ask for it without any sense of and a consciousness that can recognise GOD as well as to know beyond words or even feelings what is like what is not like GOD... words are not clarification though they can unlock undo the locks of imposed thought manufactured engineered proposed bought into survival thought the matter of humans among eachother ....  far away from .... clear me of unwanted ... to whom do we address those questions... what is free?

very recently and in the last few weeks i have amazed.... i have been out of sorts for a while familiar as well as... well out of sorts... then one day i only had a few minutes for a quick coffee .. in the cafe i saw a christian i know not very well but we chat briefly ... they were busy talking to someone else... there was a newspaper at their elbow and i didn't want to disturb them so i sat down.... one moment they caught my eye... i knew they were busy but hey i wanted that paper and asked them for it you know what... well open and browse through and the word 'evangelical' and gay blessing or something ... a short passage heads upped.... evangelical yes i know Steve Chalke well i have met him years ago and more recently heard him on radio (years) and now a few days ago.... i tell you the Spirit fell in that place and i looked up and couldn't share my excitement with the person i knew there.... instead i went and told some miscellaneous folks who well ... i was stunned of course for them they haven't a clue...

Chalke's piece appears in Christianity that evangelical rag.... and there is

for me reading his extended article on line and seeing what he is doing on Oasis i am totally gobsmacked it's not that h.. it's great to hear him speak no w he sounds so free the whole thing just breathes life


the word kills the Spirit breathes life!

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
