Spirit prompt me from my meditation on God's Law-Word.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning
of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His
commandments. His praise endures forever.
Psalm 111:10
And we know that all things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren. -- Romans 8:28-29

through Thy Commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies. I
have more understanding than all my teachers: for Thy Testimonies
are my meditation. -- Psalm 119:97
