refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
— Psalm 19:7-11
When we think of the law, we often think of something that keeps us from having fun. But here we see the opposite — law that revives us, makes us wise and rewards us. That's because God's laws are guidelines and lights for our path, rather than chains on our hands and feet. They point at dangers and warns us, then point at success and guide us.
