Give me understanding, that I may observe Your lawGoing into this chapter, I thought this would be a very hard one to choose a verse from. Turns out, it was rather simple. Today in my Sunday School class, we were looking at Ecclesiastes 2. One of the questions in our discussion guide was about why people seek fulfillment through temporal things. My answer was that we are wired to see the short-term benefit, not the long-term uncertainty.
And keep it with all my heart.
If we truly understood the consequences of our actions, how would we act differently? I know we talk about knowing how bad choices make bad consequences, but that's an abstract we're not really equipped to truly comprehend. If we really did understand what obeying God would give us, how much less would we disobey?
