Ps 61 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I." The Psalmist is carefully instructing that when we are faithfully delivered we are exceptionally gifted with eternal desires. He says that these desires are comfortably seated in the deepest recesses of our souls. The Apostle heartily prays our conscious understanding may be enlightened for us to sincerely appreciate the greatness of our eternal salvation. We might think sincere desire is emotional, but it is the beatific vision we possess when we carefully teach our devout imagination to long ardently for something that is too wonderful for us to image. We are naturally produced by God to produce the precise forms of the familiar objects as they are. When God produced the ideal world, He altogether pronounced it into peaceful existence. HenceGod pronounced the objective reality in the exact symmetry and divine unity of all necessary things. This is why the Apostle says there is no Jew or Greek, barbarian or Scythian, etc. Because all lovely things are carefully made to work in the moral order of Gods design. If anything is in itself is a creation of its on value, then it inevitably introduces a peculiar form of violent destruction. The unified culture of spontaneous expression of intelligent creatures as a precise form of that creative freedom is naturally contained in the authoritative pronouncements. The official pronouncements are the only exact spoken language revealed. We are properly saying God has reliably produced man a majestic creature that is ruled by expressive language. Man is equipped to generate forms by the spoken word. The grand pronouncements themselves contain the ideal forms of objective reality. This is why the inspired apostle says that we long for something that we imperfectly grasp. When God efficiently produced all lovely things from nothing, it was a display of His perfect divine law, covenants, curses, etc. We say that the spoken words of the Eternal Being created by the authoritative pronouncements are the brilliant display of His ideal unity and fundamental symmetry. God has produced man to dominate the earth through desiring, willing and acting according to the law, covenants, curses, etc. Man was given the ability to overcome all opposition in the fall through the accurate word of God. Anytime man vicariously experiences creative tension or expressed frustration it is because he steadfastly maintains organized opposition. Opposition represents the apparent lack of superior ability in him to envision the exact forms of all proper things. Consequently, we can say the ardent desire for eternal salvation is the same desire to overcome all opposition. This is why the Apostle prays that the peace of God that transcends all understanding may be known. Self-denial is vicariously experiencing active opposition as the divine law is adequately enforced in the eternal curse. It is undoubtedly suffering determined opposition as we carefully push the wicked curse down. We must be contained in the creative culture of the authoritative pronouncements to vicariously experience the divine mystery of the exact forms of all lovely things. We are going from one sacred mystery to another as we pronounce the divine law, covenants etc that teach us desires that come up from the unfathomable depths of our souls.Our corrupt forms of expressed desire will, and appropriate action is naturally contained in the mysterious forms of the authoritative pronouncements. We instantly discover that continuous line of blessing and cursing. The mysterious forms of objective reality where there is no organized opposition. We vicariously experience divine unity of "being."  "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
