It was the danger signal, the guide
post, which would keep the feet
from slipping into the bypaths of sin,
and it was the bearer of rich gifts to
those who remembered it to keep it
How much David saw in God's Word:
How he loved to look off upon the face
of Nature and discover some new revela
tion of God there, and then how eagerly
he would scan his bit of scrool contain
ing God's Word and there find some new
thought, some new secret, of God in His
relations to him and mankind. But how
little we enjoy God's Word! And where
as David had only bits and scraps of it,
we have the complete revelation of His
will and purpose for man. And we ought
to enjoy it. We ought to have the ex
perience of the whole Psalm. As we go
off for our vacation rest, let us learn of
God not only in Nature but in His Word;
let us seek that harmony with God which
prevails between God and Nature, and
gives to her such irresistible charm. It
may be our privilege to find God's Word
meaning to us all that it meant to David.
