'Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments' (Psalm 119:73).
The psalmist here in seeking to be taught by God; recognised first the Creator, and that his hands had made and fashioned him. It is always a good thing to remember that if we are created, we must have a Creator. Knowing this truth bring purpose - that we are here for a purpose. It brings us a knowledge of who we are, where we are from and who is responsible for us. It gives us a sense of gratitude and great affection towards God as we recognised His amazing love and the power within His hands as He formed and fashioned us. How interestingly, that God called into being all of creation through the power of His word; but with man He personally, skillfully and lovingly and with wisdom made us with His power of His hands. We have so many reasons to give praise, to trust and be confident in God. He is the source of our life! David knowing God intimately, seeks enlightenment from the one made to him to give him understanding to learn His commandments and experience His holiness. We too need to see God as our best teacher, through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to cry out to God for understanding, and He will certainly give us the grace to understand. He will not fail to hear us when we cry unto him. He who had begun a good work in us will continue to the end. When we ask of God, he will grant us the desires of our heart, so if your desire is for him to give you understanding to learn His commandments, He will grant it unto you. Let us pray that God will open our understandings, that He will enlighten our consciences and guide us into His truth. That in learning His commandments we may have a sense of their spirituality and holiness; to understand what they truly mean and apply them to our lives practically in faith and in love.
Have a wonderful day🌹🌹
