Psalm 119: 105 -- Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
The soul has its tastes as well as the body. Our relish for the word of God will be greatest, when that for the world and the flesh is least. The way of the world is a wrong way; and the more understanding we get by the precepts of God, the more rooted will be our hatred of sin; and the more ready we are in the Scriptures, the better furnished we are with answers to temptation.
Make obedience to the law of God the greatest aim of life... Avoidance of worldly culture is both the effect and means of increasing in divine knowledge. (A beautiful study is found in Romans 8:5-8).

Prov 3:1-2 - My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.
Let your heart keep the commandments as the ark kept the two tablets of the law put into it; it denotes a cordial affection for the commandments and ordinances of Christ, a hearty attention and obedience to them, and a constant and cheerful observance of them, flowing from love and gratitude to Him, John 14:15.
The WOG shows that it is not human sagacity or the prudence of man which imparts wisdom. Neither is it the ardent desire for prosperity and happiness, manifesting itself in crooked ways; but it is the fear of God and subjection to His Word which guide us safely through a world of wickedness.
