Memorized,
So I can chew on it all day long,
I savor your torah-way.
Making me wiser than my haters,
Your commandments are my constant companion.
Meditating on your blueprint for life
Gives me more insight
Than anything a teacher has ever said.
Mentors,
Drawing from years of experience,
Have less insight than me.
How so?
Because I keep coming back to what you’ve said.
Meandering into sin
Is so easy,
I watch my step
So I can keep in step
With your word.
Making a wrong turn,
Leaving the road you’ve set in front of me,
Simply won’t happen,
Because I stick to your map.
Mouth-watering,
Sumptuous,
Delectable.
Your words are the flavor I crave.
No imitation satisfies.
My mind is sharpened by your instructions.
Every other way is a dead-end
And despicable.
Psalm 119 (M is for Mem)
