God's Words are True and Rightoues

“The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

Today we examine this wonderful phrase, as we study through Psalm 19:7-11, a beautiful passage which . The truth and righteousness of God's Word are also compared together in other verses in the Psalms:

Psalm 119:142: "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth."

"The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." ~Psalm 119:160

God's Word is True

The Scriptures are true, and they are right.  Jesus, the Word of life, is also noted as being true and righteous: “He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He [referring to Himself] who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him” (John 7:18).  His words are just.  His decisions are truth in the truest sense.  Their justice and truth is unimpeachable.  

Because of this, anything that man says contradictory to God’s Word is automatically a lie.  If science seems to contradict the Scriptures, it is science who is wrong the whole time.  We cannot doubt this fact.  God’s Word is right and it is true--no matter what.

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” ~John 17:17

God's Word is Righteous

The Scriptures are just and completely righteous.  All God's Words, and specifically His commands, are righteous and proper.  We do not need to question them, because we can know that whatever God has asked us to do through His Word is completely righteous and the right thing to do in every way.

"Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful." ~Psalm 119:137-138

So Let Us Praise!

Especially having grown up in a Christian home, it is so easy for me to forget the wonder of having a love letter from the King of kings that is true in the fullest sense of the word and altogether righteous.  Let us not take this for granted, my friends, but rather choose to praise God for His righteous judgement.  The psalmist even arose in the night to praise the righteousness of God's Word! Should not we also take time each day to praise the Lord for this wonderful gift?

"At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments" (Psalm 119:62).

"Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments" (Psalm 119:164).
