More Understanding Than All My Teachers?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who love your law and meditate on it all day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Who was your best teacher? Most people can think of at least one teacher who influenced them greatly. Imagine reaching a point where you have greater understanding than your teachers. Although it might seem impossible, the psalmist in Psalm 119: 97-100 (ESV) declares it to be true.
“Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the aged,
for I keep your precepts.”
Imagine meditating on Scripture all day, every day. The Bible says, you will be wiser than your enemies, more understanding then all your teachers, and understand more than those who are aged. Reading scripture and obeying God are worthy endeavors. Start. Continue. Praise God.
