In the biblical context, "ordinances" refers to the divine laws given by God, particularly those found in the Torah. The psalmist acknowledges that these laws are not temporary but have a lasting relevance. This reflects the belief that God's word is eternal, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/40-8.htm">Isaiah 40:8</a>, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." The phrase also suggests a continuity of divine order from creation to the present, aligning with the idea that God's laws are woven into the fabric of the universe.<p><b>for all things are servants to You</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the sovereignty of God over all creation. The phrase "all things" encompasses the entirety of the created order, indicating that everything in the universe operates under God's authority and purpose. This is consistent with the biblical theme of God's dominion, as seen in passages like <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-17</a>, which states that all things were created through and for Christ, and in Him all things hold together. The concept of creation serving God can also be seen in the natural world, where the order and complexity reflect a divine design. This phrase underscores the belief that all creation ultimately fulfills God's will, whether through obedience or by demonstrating His power and glory.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses a deep love and reverence for God's law.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, whose ordinances and sovereignty are acknowledged.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/creation.htm">Creation</a></b><br>Refers to all things that exist, which are described as servants to God, highlighting His authority over the universe.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_sovereignty.htm">Divine Sovereignty</a></b><br>God's ordinances are unchanging and eternal, reflecting His ultimate authority over creation.<br><br>Recognize that everything in creation serves God's purposes, even when we do not understand how.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_of_creation.htm">Faithfulness of Creation</a></b><br>Just as creation stands firm by God's command, we are called to stand firm in our faith and obedience to His Word.<br><br>Reflect on how the natural order can inspire trust in God's faithfulness and reliability.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/servanthood_to_god.htm">Servanthood to God</a></b><br>All things are described as servants to God, reminding us of our own call to serve Him wholeheartedly.<br><br>Consider how we can align our lives more closely with God's will, serving Him in our daily actions.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_plan.htm">Trust in God's Plan</a></b><br>Understanding that all things serve God can bring comfort and assurance in times of uncertainty.<br><br>Encourage reliance on God's wisdom and timing, trusting that He is in control.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_119.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 119</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_reality_shifting.htm">What does 'delight in the Law of the Lord' mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_secrets_belong_solely_to_the_lord.htm">What secrets belong solely to the Lord?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_the_law_of_moses_eternal.htm">Is the Law of Moses eternal?
