“Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall observe it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
And keep it with all my heart.
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.
Incline my heart to Your testimonies
And not to dishonest gain.
Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
And revive me in Your ways.
Establish Your word to Your servant,
As that which produces reverence for You.” (Psalm 119:33-38 NASB1995)
Who is our #1 teacher we are to be listening to and following? God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. And he speaks to us through the Scriptures, and he speaks to us through his Spirit who lives within those of us who believe in Christ. For the Word of God is implanted in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus. And we are taught of God by the Holy Spirit who lives within us. But within the body of Christ we also have Christians with the gift of teaching, and we can learn from them, too, but we must test what they teach against the Scriptures, taught it context, so we believe the truth.
For we want to be taught the truth, which is of God, so that what we end up following is the truth, and not the lies which are spreading so rapidly. We should want to know the way of the Lord and of his commandments so that we will now walk in them, in truth and in righteousness, until the very end. And we should inquire of the Lord for understanding of his Word so that, by the Spirit, we will walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commandments (New Covenant), and so we will keep his Word wholeheartedly. For we should be those who delight in walking in the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, not only should we pray that our hearts will be inclined to receiving, believing, and putting into daily practice the testimonies of our Lord, written down for us in the Scriptures (taught in the correct context), but that our hearts will not be inclined to what is dishonest and to what is vanity. And this is why we must be students of the Scriptures who study them in the correct biblical context, so that we are able to discern truth from error (from lies), so that we end up obeying the truth and not the lies which are spreading so rapidly today. For many teach lies as truth and truth as lies.
So God is the one to establish within us what is true and to let us know what is false. And the Word of the Lord, written down for us in the Scriptures, if taught in the appropriate context, should be that which produces reverence for God. And reverence is respect, honor, and worship, which includes us denying self, dying to sin daily, and walking in obedience to our Lord according to his commands. It includes us humbly surrendering our lives to Christ, to do his will, to answer his calls, to walk in his ways, and to honor him as Lord of our lives. For to this we are called of God, to serve Him.

Praise You with an upright heart as
I learn of Your righteousness.
I seek You with all my heart;
Do not let me stray from Your law.
I have hidd’n Your word in my heart
That I might not sin against You.
Open my eyes that I may see
Wonderful things in Your word.
I am a stranger on earth.
I have chosen the way of truth;
My heart is set on Your word.
I will walk about in freedom,
For I have sought out Your truth.
Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
For I believe in Your law.
Your hands made me, and they formed me;
Give me understanding, Lord.
I put my hope in Your word.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light unto my path.
You are my shield and my refuge;
In Your word I put my hope.
My heart trembles at Your word, Lord.
May my lips o’erflow with praise.
May my tongue sing of Your truth, Lord.
Your salvation, Lord, long I.
Your word, Lord, is my delight.
