| Oh, what the heart of a heart of an artist produces. |
“Ps 119:1-176. This celebrated Psalm has several peculiarities. It is divided into twenty-two parts or stanzas, denoted by the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Each stanza contains eight verses, and the first letter of each verse is that which gives name to the stanza. Its contents are mainly praises of God's Word, exhortations to its perusal, and reverence for it, prayers for its proper influence, and complaints of the wicked for despising it.”[1]
Not two chapters form the shortest chapter in the Bible is the longest. As the commentary describes it is a complex work of poetry, praising God’s word. This may seem like a lot of work and kind of repetitive unless you’re an artist at heart. The artist knows, as do others like Engineers, designers, and finishers, the greatest compliment you can give a subject, or a work is giving it your best and finest skill to make it complete even in areas others may not see.
God’s Word is a part of God’s revelation and this gift is something which deserves great praise.
