« God’s Word Produces Understanding »

Psalm 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for Thy testimonies are my meditation.

Who couldn’t love the Word of God? Not only does it make you wiser than your enemies, it also gives you greater understanding than your teachers. In fact, the greatest knowledge of all is the knowledge of the Word of God. Through meditation of God’s Word our understanding will exceed the understanding of even our teachers. 

We may hear the wisest teachers and still remain fools, but wisdom is found by meditating on God’s Word. There is more wisdom in the testimonies of the Lord than in all the teachings of men if they were all gathered into one vast library. That one Book outweighs the total sum of all others.

According to this verse the surest way to excellence is to make the testimonies of the Lord your subject of study for life and to make meditation the method by which this subject is studied.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
