Psalm 19:7-10, ESV
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:7-10, JN paraphrase
There is no greater example of perfection than the Law of the LORD, God, the Almighty. It is without flaw or need for revision. It is complete, covering every aspect of life, it is coherent without contradiction, it brings joy to its adherents, understanding to the seeker, It is clean, it is true, it is righteous and provides perfect examples of these qualities. Imagine something more desirable than fine gold and sweeter than honey.

Man – The Dwelling Place of God, by A. W. Tozer. From the preface: “The chapters in this book deal with many of the aspects of one subject: the relationship of God and man. They are above all practical and all who read them will profit.” Each chapter is short and easily adapted to a daily devotional. Try it! I find it fits well into my end of day devotionals.
