Passage:
Psalm
119:97-104*
97. O how I love Thy law!
It is my meditation all the day
98. Thy commandments make me
wiser than my enemies, for they are ever
mine.
99. I have more insight than all
my teachers, for Thy testimonies are my
meditation.
100. I understand more than the
aged, because I have observed Thy precepts.
101. I have restrained my feet
from every evil way, that I may keep Thy
word.
102. I have not turned aside
from Thine ordinances, for Thou Thyself hast taught
me.
103. How sweet are Thy words to
my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my
mouth!
104. From Thy precepts I get
understanding; therefore I hate every false
way.
Questions
1. What is it that makes
the psalmist wiser than his enemies, his teachers and
the aged (verses 98, 99, 100)?
2. What are the benefits of this
increase in wisdom (verses 101, 104)?
3. What does the psalmist
do with God's Law (verse 97)? What does
meditation mean?
Practical
help
Most people who view porn
know that it is a foolish, ignorant thing to watch
sexually explicit videos march across their computer
screen. There is nothing socially redeemable,
relationally enriching, or spiritually edifying about
it. Yet many people still view porn! How to narrow the
gap between our actions and what we know to be wise?
Psalm 119 says to pursue a life-changing relationship
with the life-changing Word of God. Diligent,
soul-searching, thoughtful time in the Bible will
elevate your practical wisdom quotient.
