As we have seen from the beginnings (see last post), the Bible is marvelous and holds hidden marvels.
Psalm 118:8 is the numerical center of the Bible. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Psalm 118 is also between the shortest chapter in the Bible Psalm 117 and the longest chapter in the Bible Psalm 119. Incredible.
I was reading the 118th Psalm and noticed the 22nd verse... the stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. In this the centerpiece chapter of the Bible we find reference to the capstone, the foundation of the structure. The Bible, like the church is an intricately formed structure built upon a solid foundation. This structure is the temple of the Lord which is full of His presence and glory.
Understanding the Bible begins upon the foundation which is rejected by men yet thankfully as the center capstone has proclaimed we do not trust in man and therefore have no fear of man. Rather as wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord we take refuge in the Lord.
This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. Psalm 118:23
