Day 21 | February Devotional from Psalms - "Attributes and Outcomes for Your Life"
Psalms 19:7, The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes 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 judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.

ATTRIBUTE = OUTCOME
Law of the LORD is perfect (whole complete) -- Converts the soul: Brings Change
Testimony of the LORD is sure (not shaky like the world around us) -- Making wise the simple: Removes naiveté
Statutes of the LORD are right (Defines life and reality) -- Rejoicing the heart: Brings meaning and balance to life
Commandment of the LORD is pure (not mixed, sincere) -- Enlightening the eyes: Brings clarity and authenticity
Fear of the LORD is clean: (In a physical and moral sense. We do not want to displease God) -- Enduring forever: Not like things that break down when not clean
Judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. (God influenced decisions are best) Good and bad decisions drive our quality of life.
