• We see too how directly the soul connects itself with God in grace here, and has the consciousness that it is of God, gives the word authority. “I have not departed from thy judgments, for thou hast taught me.” This has great weight in the soul, when the power of God's word has been realized. What has been taught of man, may be left for man; but what has been taught of God, will never be left for God; and for whom else shall we leave it? It has the bond of faith and authority for the soul. It comes from and leads to Him. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:73-120” by J.N. Darby)
• Above all, the Word held in affection brings the believer into direct contact with God, “thou hast taught me.” (cf. Luke 10:39; 2 Tim. 2:7). This is the secret of a wisdom beyond anything that can be acquired from man, teachers, or human experience. It is a wisdom acquired in the presence of God, and held in faith with God. (“Palam 119:97-104: Division 13 (Mem)” by H. Smith)
