A Letter From Our Pastor


 Psalm 19
 
 A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
 5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
 6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; 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, enlightening the eyes;
 9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
 12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer
 
May God grant us the ears and eyes to hear and see the glory of God in His creation and through His Word. May He grant us hearts to treasure and desire His Word of instruction. May God grant us faith to believe in His Son, our Lord Jesus, who is the manifestation of the glory of God, the Word who became flesh, and the one who died and rose from the grave that we may be declared innocent and blameless from our sins.   Because of Jesus Christ, we are acceptable in the sight of God, who is our rock and redeemer. Amen! 


 -Pastor Darrin Sheek
