Psalm 119:66 says, “Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.” This prayer from the psalmist reflects a deep desire for both wisdom and understanding that comes from a relationship with God. Good judgment and knowledge are essential in living out God's commands. Without them, we can easily make poor decisions or misunderstand God's will. The psalmist acknowledges that belief in God’s commandments must be accompanied by a pursuit of deeper understanding. It is not enough to simply believe; we must ask God to teach us how to apply His Word wisely in our lives. As we grow in knowledge and judgment, we are better equipped to navigate life’s challenges and fulfill God’s purpose for us.
Hebrews 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Ecclesiastes 7:12
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Philippians 1:9
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment.
