Psalm 119 - Wisdom

98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.

104 Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

144 Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.

169 Let my cry come before you, O LORD; give me understanding according to your word!

Talk Sheet Questions

  1. When you need wisdom, who do you talk to? Why that person?

  2. If the Bible helps develop wisdom, can you find one scripture that helps you fear of the Lord, love what is good, and develop skill in living? (Those are the aspects of wisdom from our series last winter).

  3. Can you describe a time when God’s word helped you understand or solve some problem you were having?

  4. Verse 169 suggests that crying to the Lord and understanding go together; What makes prayer a wise activity?
