What do you see?

The instruction of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the  testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up. 9 The  fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous. 10 They are more desirable than gold— than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey— than honey dripping from the comb. 11 In addition, Your servant is warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.
Psalms 19:7-11 (HCSB)

When you look at the Bible what do you see?  Do you see in the Bible a bunch of rules?  Maybe it is folklore to you.  Perhaps you find it an ancient book with not much relevance to a modern person.  Well, there are many who may view the Bible in such a way.  To me, I see it as King David saw it here in Psalm 19.  Check out his description:

Perfect
Reviving
Trustworthy
makes wise
Right
makes one glad
radiant
illuminates
pure
Enduring
Reliable
Righteous
Valuable
Sweeter than honey
Warning
Rewarding

Take a look again at the Word!
