I was reading today and I came across Psalm 19:7,
The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
And this is a function of the law that I don’t think I’ve thought of before. The law as an equalizer. It’s an indepentant source of wisdom. It doesn’t matter if you are “simple” or if you are full of “common sense”. God provided the law, something trustworthly, and if we follow it, it will make even the simple wise. Our wisdom is not found by our own mental ability but by submission to a higher authority.
