Verses in Psalm 119 often say ‘teach me’ with the writer’s intention of learning. Verse 135 says, “Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.” Verse 66 says, “Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments.”

Verse 68 says, “You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes.” Verse 124 says, “Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes.” Note that the request ‘teach me’ was connected to the character of God.

The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. He uses our trials to direct us into God’s way which is perfect. Psalm 18:30 says, “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”

Hebrews 12:11 Amplified says, “For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it…” Our trials take us deeper into the experiential knowledge of the character of Christ.
