Ps 131 1 My heart is not proud, O LORD ,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul;
like a weaned child with its mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore."
The purpose of meditating on Gods law, decrees, curses, promises and statutes is to find rest for our souls. Before the fall man did not experience tension. Tension is the result of opposition. When man sinned we became corrupted in body and soul. There is no part of us that is free of opposition. We are opposed by guilt, shame, sorrow, and fear. We suffer physical pain. But in the Psalms everything that exist can be described in words. All reality is described perfectly by God because God designed it and created it. The perfect description of Gods creation is spoken in pronouncements of Gods law, covenants, curses, promises and statutes.
The corruption is the disjointed and disordered communication that we experience as pain. This is why we as corrupted beings are complicated. If we could have a continuous explanation from God as we face the pain of this disorder then we would experience rest which is an ability to lean on God. But because we are unable to know a detailed explanation of the reasons and the remedy against the opposition then we must learn to live with a incomplete record that is given to us in Gods revelation. In order for us to experience spiritual rest we must learn how to roll all of our troubles and pain over to God.
Some people teach that we simply tell God what we are experiencing and give it to Him. You can program a robot to act in a certain way but self governing beings act by desire and not a bare choice. There are a lot of meta physical actions that we perform before we actually do the act. This is why God has made us like Himself. Because God has designed the things He created and spoke them into existence from nothing. So we are dependent upon the order and unity of all things as the foundation of our spiritual health. So we are very complicated because the corruption that oppose us is both understandable and mysterious. We are naturally made to create as God has created. When we are frustrated by disorder we are opposed as creators.
You see God experiences pleasure in that creative activity. So our hopes and self fulfillment are frustrated by the opposition to our purpose in creating. If we were able to know and understand the corruption as God understands it then we would experience the unity as creators. When we experience this unity we feel in control of the creation.
But God has not left us in total mystery. He has given us the outline of His description in creating all things. We need perfect communication in order to know our purpose and to experience unity of being. God has given us words that are communicated as if they are spoken to us.The words are used by the Holy Spirit to reorder our desires and thoughts so that we experience unity of being.God has made us to think and speak. The law , decrees, covenants , statutes etc are spoken in the form of pronouncements. God create all things by pronouncing them into existence from nothing. This is why we are naturally gifted to recreating the disorder by speaking the pronouncements. So the recreation in our use of the pronouncements is speaking unity into reality.
