Psalm 119:32 - Understanding

I run in the path of your commands,
     for you have broadened my understanding.

It is one thing to obey a law, it is another to understand the law.  This section of Psalm 119 is about understanding the law. I see this as a bit of a prophecy to Jesus and his teachings. Jesus moves beyond the law by helping us to live our lives by the principals behind the laws, not the laws themselves. Living by Jesus' teachings is not black or white, it is living by two main things: Love God, Love People.

Lord, thank you for helping us to understand you through your law. Please help us to live our lives running in the path or your commands. Amen.
