“The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees.” (Psalm 119:64)
When Jesus met with His disciples the last time before His crucifixion He told them that when He departed He would send another comforter who would teach them all things. Jesus was telling His disciples that the Holy Spirit would not only bring them comfort but He would also teach them His words.
The Psalmist also knew this. He knew that because the earth was a demonstration of the love of God that he could ask the Lord to be his teacher. To truly understand the love of God we must understand His Word. We can recite John 3:16 about God loving the world but do we understand that love? We need the Holy Spirit to teach us what that means in the life of a believer. Just two verses later Jesus reminds His disciples that though God loved the world He would judge those who would not believe.
