Psalms 119:98-100 NLT
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide. Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws. I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments.
When we follow God’s commands and do what He says, we exercise wisdom. We become wiser than the people in the world and we become wiser than believers who don’t do what He says.
The wisdom we obtain by doing what He commands elevates us. It brings ideas, concepts, and inventions. This wisdom tells us when and where to invest. This wisdom provides solutions to the world’s problems. And this wisdom will show us how to maintain our bodies.
This wisdom is not from keeping the law of Moses, but from doing what the Father tells us to do. For us, the Father instructs us through His written word (in context) and through His Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16-17; John 14:26).
If we choose to obey His word and/or His Spirit, we’ll gain the wisdom needed to handle any situation AND stand out from the crowd. But, it’s up to us if we should obey God’s commands.
