Main Thought:
God is our truest teacher through His word. The world’s teachers, whether old or new, are in no way comparable to the God who created the world and still upholds it. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Psalm 119:97–104 מ
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.
I hold back my feet from every evil way,
in order to keep your word.
I do not turn aside from your rules,
for you have taught me.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.
Prayer
Thanks be to You, God of all wisdom, that You have given us Your Word, in which You teach us the true wisdom. Guard us from the seductions of worldly philosophy and keep us in the faith of Your Word, which enlightens the soul unto eternal life. So draw us to Your Son, that we hear His voice and follow Him. Amen.
