Knowledge and Good Judgment

Scripture:

 “Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:66‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

In this verse, the Psalmist asks God for knowledge and good judgment and then reminds God that he trusts God’s commands.  He knew that knowledge and good judgment come from the Lord and not simply from studying more.  God is the author of knowledge and good judgment.  In my opinion, good judgment is more important.  Knowledge can come from study.  What to do with knowledge is what good judgment is.  

Application:

Good judgment is crucial for living an successful life.  Knowing what to do at the right time is so important.  Having good judgment of people and things going on around you is absolutely essential to good leadership.  I want good judgment in my life.  I want to look at situations and know exactly what to do.  This only comes from the Lord.  I want to make great decisions and lead God’s people well, therefore, I need good judgment.

Prayer:

Father, I look to You for knowledge and good judgment.  You are the source of knowledge.  You are limitless in understanding and there are no boundaries to Your intelligence.  Open my mind to know You more and to judge as You would judge.  Help me to walk in integrity and character while making great decisions.  Lead me in every decision I make so that I don’t hinder Your plans for my life.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
