We often get caught up in our daily routines and end up focused on the non-essentials of life. We need wisdom, good judgement, and knowledge, yet we don't ask God to give it to us. Then trials and suffering come. We refocus, fix our eyes on God, and His word becomes more valuable to us, more valuable than any materials we possess. This process is simple, but it's never easy. We forget, God reminds us, and it repeats itself over and over until we are ready to go Home.
65 You have done many good things for me, Lord,just as You promised.66 I believe in Your commands;now teach me good judgment and knowledge.67 I used to wander off until You disciplined me;but now I closely follow Your word.68 You are good and do only good;teach me Your decrees.69 Arrogant people smear me with lies,but in truth I obey Your commandments with all my heart.70 Their hearts are dull and stupid,but I delight in Your instructions.71 My suffering was good for me,for it taught me to pay attention to Your decrees.72 Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.
Psalms 119:65-72
