Psalm 119:97-112 (Good News Translation)
God’s Word: Filling Us With God’s WisdomIntroduction
Psalm 119:97-112: Today’s passage begins with a reflection on the value of studying and thinking about God’s Law. It can provide wisdom even beyond that which comes with age and experience.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.
Today’s Reading
97 How I love your law! I think about it all day long. 98 Your commandment is with me all the time and makes me wiser than my enemies. 99 I understand more than all my teachers,because I meditate on your instructions. 100 I have greater wisdom than those who are old, because I obey your commands. 101 I have avoided all evil conduct, because I want to obey your word. 102 I have not neglected your instructions, because you yourself are my teacher. 103 How sweet is the taste of your instructions— sweeter even than honey! 104 I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct. 105 Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path. 106 I will keep my solemn promise to obey your just instructions. 107 My sufferings, LORD, are terrible indeed; keep me alive, as you have promised. 108 Accept my prayer of thanks, O LORD, and teach me your commands. 109 I am always ready to risk my life; I have not forgotten your law. 110 The wicked lay a trap for me, but I have not disobeyed your commands. 111 Your commandments are my eternal possession; they are the joy of my heart. 112 I have decided to obey your laws until the day I die.
 Reflect
Jewish Scriptures (known to Christians as the Old Testament) reveal two important understandings of wisdom. First, true wisdom comes from God; second, God’s wisdom is based on the Law that God gave to Moses and the people at Mount Sinai. Where do you find knowledge of God’s wisdom?
