Understand More!

Understand More!

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 favorite 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. Studying Scripture and obeying God are worthy endeavors. Start. Continue. Praise God.

Fled to You for Refuge?

Fled to You for Refuge?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have fled to you for refuge. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Martin Luther wrote “A Might Fortress Is Our God.” The first verse is…

“A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.”

In Psalm 143:9-10 (ESV), the psalmist, David, turns to God and asks for refuge.

“Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
I have fled to you for refuge.
Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground!”

Do you need a bulwark never failing? Do you need refuge from enemies? Ask God. Let his Spirit lead.
