Psalm 19:5
5 Which is as a bridegroom [chathan] coming out [yatsa'] of his
chamber, [chuppah] and rejoiceth [suws] as a strong man [gibbowr]
to run [ruwts] a race. ['orach] KJV-Interlinear
5 Which
is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to
run his course. NASB
Chamber, ‘chuppah,’ is a
reference to the bride chamber or canopy or closet, wherein the bride and groom
consummate their marriage.
In the morning at first
light, after the couple has had their nights activities, then the bridegroom
arises, dresses in the spendor of victory and joy, and emerges out of the
chamber with renewed vigor and youth.
That is the picture being
used here of the sun rising each morning, in its bright splendor, looking
forward to a full and invigorating day ahead.
In the second
illustration, the sun is compared to an athlete, strong, prepared, well trained,
eager and ready for the athletic event before him.
The sun has its daily
journey before it, a race as it were, and puts forth its full and seemingly
endless effort all day until the end of the day, only to rise again to race
again, without hesitation, willing and eager to repeat this process, with
seemingly endless effort.
Just as the sun has been
set in its place by God, so too, doctrine has been set in its place.
The course and purpose
and design of the sun cannot be changed by mans efforts or will. Neither can doctrine be modified, ended, or
changed by mans efforts, will or design.
Whatever your attitude,
whatever your opinions, whatever your desire to have things your way, in
opposition to Gods way, you will lose, while Gods will continues unhindered.
To oppose God and His
design, His purpose and design and place for your life, regardless of your
circumstances, is a fools choice.
