Learning Through Experience

Psalm 119:70-72

Some have a heart as much fat as grease,
Fed of Satanic words making them obese;
But God's Law is what I'd rather delight,
For it provides me with a great insight;
It is good to have suffered and afflicted,
Learning the statutes and not contradicted;
The Law of God is much more precious to me,
Than the wealth created from all the money;
It is said in living to learn through life,
Amongst of all the toils, trials and strife;
Learning is through all of our experience,
For supplication in increasing obedience;
We learn for in not repeating our mistakes,
A conscience reminding us with our aches;
Pain and suffering for when we're wrong,
Changing us to be humble from headstrong;
That's why we need to spend time to pray,
Confessing to the Lord on our wrong way;
Changing our lives with Heavenly discipline,
Freeing us from the earthly bondage of sin.
