Only God can see the end.

Finally, in verse 73 of Psalm 119, the psalmist reminds us that we will receive understanding when we read and meditate on God's Word daily. We will get a perspective on life from God that we simply can't get anywhere else. Only God can see the end. Only God can see the total and big picture. Life and all of our lives are like icebergs. We can only see a small percentage of what sits above the surface of the water. Only God can see below the surface. So when we are allowing God's Word to give us understanding, we can have an insight into life and a discernment to navigate life that is beyond all human comprehension. That's why in Psalm 119:98 -100, the psalmist says that knowing God's principles can make me wiser than our enemies, our teachers, and even those older who have more experience. Because if all they are relying on is the wisdom that belongs to men instead of the wisdom given us by God they limit their own understanding of where we came from; why we are here; where we are going. The only clear and accurate answer to those and other questions is found in the Bible. So I hope you are as motivated as I am to dive into God's Word daily. Some of the greatest benefits in life and for life are contained within its pages.
