Psalm 119:125 says, “I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.” The Hebrew word for understanding means discernment, and the word know is by experience. Experiential knowledge. 

My mind went back to Proverbs 9:10. It says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” To know the Lord through His word causes us to become partakers of His nature. 2 Peter 1:4.

Inculcating His word allows it to be alive inside us, especially in the midst of our adverse circumstances. Instilling His truth, is like coating our heart with wallpaper. It remains no matter what our situation is. We cling to Him through His word that is written on the walls of our heart. Psalm 119:117 says, “Hold me up, and I shall be safe…” Clinging to His nature of faithfulness, allows us to tangibly experience His nature as He holds us up.
