Psalm 119:מ (Mem)
97 How I love your Torah!
I meditate on it all day.
98 I am wiser than my foes,
because your mitzvot are mine forever.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
because I meditate on your instruction.
100 I understand more than my elders,
because I keep your precepts.
101 I keep my feet from every evil way,
in order to observe your word.
102 I don’t turn away from your rulings,
because you have instructed me.
103 How sweet to my tongue is your promise,
truly sweeter than honey in my mouth!
104 From your precepts I gain understanding;
this is why I hate every false way.

A child in school is an average student. He is not the best student in his class. But if he studies very hard and gets 100% on a test, his teacher will mark it with an A+. The child feels very proud. He hurries home to show his good grade to his father and mother.
It is good to study from books and pay attention to teachers. But it is even more important to read God's Word, the Bible, and obey it. Verses 99 and 100 of Psalm 119 continue to talk about the importance of Bible reading and study. "I am wiser than all my teachers, because I study your rules. I understand more than those who are older, because I obey your instructions."
True understanding and wisdom come from studying God's Word. People of all ages can have this understanding and wisdom if they learn from the Bible. God wants us to enjoy reading and studying His teachings. The writer of Psalm 119 says that God's words are like sweet honey in his mouth.
Learn from God's Word. Then share it with other people. God will bless you with understanding and wisdom.
