They shall prosper that love thee (Jerusalem) psalm 122:6
About
God is not the “author of confusion,” and that means that rational intelligibility is foundational to divine revelation. “The Law was written in the language of men,”which is to say, it expresses ideas people can understand. The Scriptures declare:"Blessed is the man who ... delights in the Law/Torah of the LORD all that he does shall prosper" (Psalm 1:1-3). And while it is true that we are no longer 'under' the terms of the covenant given at Sinai (Rom. 3:23), we still delight 'in' the Torah and meditate on its precepts day and night (Psalm 1:2; 19:8; 119:15, 47, 97; Neh. 8:12, etc.). After all, Law “written upon the heart” is a mark of the New Covenant believer (Jer. 31:31-33). As it is written in Proverbs: "If you seek it [i.e.,the wisdom revealed in the Torah] like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God” (Prov. 2:4-5). If worldly men seek money and riches for life in this world, should we be less earnest in our pursuit of true and eternal riches?
