The Psalmist always begins to reason from the ultimate view that God could make all things right in this world by speaking them into existence. We must understand the God is able to overcome all other wills. This is why it is so easy for us to voluntarily limit our unique potential by thinking that God is limited by the system of doctrine or the personal view that we have of relationships in our peculiar experience with other people. We must understand that when God carefully created us, He made us like Himself. We are creators.
We get pleasure in producing things from our ability to view and image in our minds. One of our most considerable pleasures is to be free to imagine something that is beyond our ordinary experience in this world. We are not exclusively physical beings. But we intimately connect with others in a spiritual way. We teach ourselves by the familiar words that we use to merely describe other people and our own experience. We place arbitrary limits on our personal view that are not legitimate.Some people have never learned the Spirit of God gainfully employs the word of God to aid us.We rise above the limits of this world to vicariously experience the eternal beauty and power of God. We must learn how to go from sacred word to divine mystery. Because when we experience mystery we begin to progressively develop a sanctified imagination. The reason that the Christian faith recovers as a negative and constraining experience is because we are typically living through someone else experiences. We will never understand Christian freedom when we intentionally limit how God manages us by what other people instruct us. The pleasure and persuasive influence in this life come from true self-knowledge.
This is why interpreting the scriptures and applying them correctly is a life long examination. Because we naturally bring God down to our own level. We must see how constrained the natural man lives. The Psalms teach that the expression of total freedom is the description that God has about the purpose for which He created all things. In other words God enjoys devising, creating and sustaining all things. The spiritual world has not limits of Gods willing and acting. We must understand that our salvation was receiving the implanted word of God. That is the fullness of God. The implantation is the revealed word that describes who we are and what Gods purpose in our lives is. But it is also the residence of all the mysteries of God. So this is why the Apostle prays that we might know that wisdom and love of God that is beyond our understanding. Here the Psalmist is depicting our spiritual world in the kingdom of God in which God sustains and emanates Himself in this legally perfect kingdom to cause us to dwell in the warmth and the light of this mysterious reception of His favor.
