Teach Me
Good Judgment
And Knowledge
You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according to your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was humbled I went astray, but now I keep your word. You are good and do good; teach me your statutes. The arrogant smear me with lies, but with your whole heart I keep your precepts. Their hearts are fat and gross, but I delight in your law. It is good for me that I was humbled, so that I might learn your statutes. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
We all have difficult things foisted
upon us, and difficult decisions to make. If you bring God into the picture,
and ask for His help, you will never go wrong, regardless of how troubling the
decision might be. It is a part of human nature to avoid pain, but the believer
can learn from painful circumstances.
What problem are you facing today?
Hand it over to the LORD in prayer. Then meditate on Scripture and thank God
for the lessons of life you are about to learn. The LORD of heaven and earth is
sovereign.
Our
afflictions are not designed to break us
but to bring us to
God.
