This Psalm is saying that God is the only one who knows the true value of everything He has created. He has provided for all of His creation and He has shown us the value of His work through Jesus Christ. He is a just God and He will repay us according to our work. However, our financial freedom is linked to the grace that has been established through redemption in Christ. In these verses, there is only One Man who can pay the ransom price for man's eternal freedom, and that is Jesus Christ.It is crucial that we grasp that God has given mankind value through His grace. God is free to behave as He chooses and He supplies everything that His creatures need." He opens His hand and provides for the desires of every living thing." The order of nations and of all time has been established by God according to His perfect value system. Therefore, God's responses to societies - His anger, patience, kindness, etc. - are linked to His plan for His Son as He explains the value of a person or thing. God is always patient, angry, loving, etc. for the right reasons. We must understand that God reveals the true value of things in His eternal story. In doing so, we can see that the value He places on man is great indeed. One person's idea of what is valuable may differ from another person's idea, and the reason for this is both understandable and mysterious. We can't know for sure what's truly valuable because we don't have a moral compass that can tell us the worthiness of rewards or punishment in the afterlife. However, since God's word is an eternal expression of Himself, it answers our frustration because we are like God in our reasons and reactions. Not only has He given us a partial standard of the true value of things, but He has entered into our experience as our understanding measurement is consumed in His eternal measurement. God must turn our view of value upside down, in order to reveal the true value of things to us. This is because our own standards and laws often prevent us from valuing things as God's gifts. By raising the value of things to an eternal level, God shows us that grace is both spiritual and political freedom. He has spoken the curse and blessing in His eternal voice. This Psalm describes the problem as man having a measurement of the value of things according to his own standards and laws. "5 Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me-- 6 those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?" The value system of the world can be used to God's advantage to make men religious and political dissidents, ultimately leading to the destruction of power structures and the creation of a more just and equal society.
