7How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Why does the Psalmist compare the love and faithfulness of God to the creation. Because God has spoken the creation into existence. It is the visual beauty that is resulted from speaking according to the axioms. We see the space between the earth and the sun and it is an illustration that Gods axioms are big enough to handle any danger that we face by the unraveling of society that is produced by the wicked. The God always upholds his law. Just look at the heavens . They have not changed since the creation. God always keeps His promises. Just look at the distance between us and the planets. How much power it took to form the universe.If God can speak the creation into existence do you think He will be slack concerning His promises. The truth is that Gods axioms not only are there for our refuge but they preserver our lives!
He is saying that the universe is a show of the Father Son relationship. In revelation the Father is the eagle whos wings are a refuge to His elect. The Father is both the caretaker and the judge. So our Father turns the law away from us when we are enjoying His favor under the shadow of His wings. If you study the Psalms the law is always directed toward the self righteous in Israel and the wicked in the nations. Our Father protects us by blessing us while He curses the enemies. If God could use the law to condemn us then His love for us would cease.
8They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
9For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
We have a Father who takes us into the family under His roof. We live in His house. The house is both the Temple and the earth and sky. The world is not our world.It is Gods salvation in Gods world. He is teaching that we have been put on this earth to enjoy the fruits that it produces. Our Father has given us an abundance of things to meet our needs through the word. We speak the words of creation and we are breathed upon God has given us His word in order to enjoy the foundation of life. We see the light in His world or light. The implanted word is a gift to us in order to enjoy all of the spiritual and physical delights in this world. We speak the axioms and the physical and spiritual things come alive.
Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
May the foot of the proud not come against me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
See how the evildoers lie fallen-
thrown down, not able to rise! The truth is that God does not define us according to our corruption. He defines us according to our new identity. So the Psalmist does not even mention that we are our worse enemy. Instead we have the potential to be blessed beyond what we could ever imagine through the axioms. Our only opposition is cursed by God so that we cannot be driven away. The curses give us a sense of satisfaction. They are focusing on Gods protection of us. As the Psalmist speaks the curses its the same as focusing on God. He gets bold and pronounces the defeat of His enemies. He grows bold.
