The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul (Psalm 19:7)

The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

My Myers Briggs personality test shows I'm INTJ, my strongest preferences being Intuition over Sensing and Thinking more than Feeling. Growing up in a family of missionaries from Evangelical/Baptist roots, I was not one to just take someone at their word. It wasn't until a preacher held up an obituary instead of a Bible, that I really began thinking about life and death and understood why Jesus Christ was good news. I understood the preachers call to action for me was, today if this has made sense to you for the first time get with someone you trust and pray with them to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. So with my mom, as a second-grade kid, I began my new life as a Christian.

The point is sometimes, taking God's perfect word in our heart can help us relate the life-changing truth in a way that others can understand it.

The Instructions (guidance)/decrees (orders) of the Lord
