00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179
I'm thinking today of Psalm 119 .66. It says,

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.039
Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for

00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.859
I believe in your commandments. The psalmist

00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:12.880
is asking God to deliver the ability to understand

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.859
the difference between one thing and another.

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.160
What is good and what is bad? What to do and

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.379
what not to do? Where stands the truth? He makes

00:00:21.379 --> 00:00:24.600
the statement that he believes God's commandments.

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:27.239
So it is not that he doesn't know what God says,

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.539
but rather that he desires the ability to live

00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:31.559
it out while being able to sort the events of

00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.380
life. How to apply the truth is just as important

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.340
as accepting it if you want to follow faithfully.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.119
It is a journey that does not change the truth,

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:41.960
but must change the follower.
