Psalm 119: 127-128
Because I love Your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, and because I consider all Your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, and it uses numerous terms:
-Law
-Testimonies
-Judgments
-Path
-Way(s)
-Precepts
-Ordinances
-Word(s)
-Statutes
-Commandments
-Decrees
-Word of Truth
-Wonders
All these describe the ways God gives us to understand His instructions, to teach us how to think, how to order our lives to be in tune with how He designed this World to function.
The writer of this Psalm got this concept, so he valued this instruction over all the wealth this Earth can provide.
This Earth and the World of Mankind upon it will all be destroyed one Day, but God and His Ways will endure forever.
So what will your profit be if you can gain this whole World, but miss out on the purpose of it all, and lose your Eternity?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
