God Provides (by Rhonda Sawtelle)
Psalm 119: God's Word....
vs. 24: Provides Wisdom
Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. Psalm 119:24
Delight: enjoyment, pleasure
Counselors: prudence, advice, purpose
What should I do? How should I act? What should I say? Questions we all ask ourselves. The true answer is actually simple — do, act and say — exactly as God would. And we learn the specifics from His Word.
Wisdom. Everyday practical wisdom. Available from the One who created us. The question comes down to — will I follow the advice of God Almighty?

He sought direction and advice from them as from a friend who would give him counsel. He looked to the revealed law of God to ascertain what was right; to know how he should act in the emergencies of life. (Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible)
