Digging Deeper Psalm 103:15-19

Oh, dear one, are you growing weary of your meditation and memorizing? Don't give up!! If you have not joined the journey, jump in now. This week we will be meditating on Psalm 103:15-19. If memorizing all 5 verses, select one or two such as 17 +18 or just 19. Every word of Scripture you memorize has eternal value because God's Word is forever settled in heaven, it never changes.

15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from
everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.

Commentary:"As for man, his days are as grass, which grows of out the earth, rises but a little way above it, and soon withers. Man, in his best estate, is but like a flower of the field, which, though distinguished a little from the grass, will wither with it. The flower of the garden is commonly more choice and valuable, and though in its own nature withering, will last the longer for its being sheltered by the garden wall and the gardener's care; but the flower of the field (to which life is compared) is not only withering in itself, but exposed to the cold blasts, and liable to be cropped and trodden on by the beasts of the field. Man's life is not only wasting of itself, but its period may be anticipated by a thousand accidents. God consider this, and pities him; let him consider it himself, and be humble." [Matthew Henry's Commentary in One Volume pg. 688]
