Psalm 119:97-104

"Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long."

{Psalm 119:97} (NIV) 

Imagine being wiser than your enemies, or opponents. Imagine being at a higher level of insight than your teachers. Imagine having more understanding than the wisest of all Canadians. Wisdom comes from having the Law. Insight comes from constantly thinking on the Law. Understanding comes from obeying the Law. 

When we keep the Law in front of us, thinking constantly upon it, and we cause ourselves to obey it, then what we are doing is ‘allowing’ God to be our Teacher! What would we give to be able to sit and learn from God Himself? People are willing to pay millions of dollars to go in a space craft and get God’s view of the earth. We can buy a Bible for $10, and if we read it, think about it and obey it, we will be taught by God Himself. His Words will be sweet to us, because of the benefit we see in our lives. 

The issue seems to be that we want to seat in God’s seat (pride) instead of sitting at His feet (humility). Friend, may we sit at His feet and read His Word this day, and continue our journey to true wisdom, insight and understanding!
