If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth,
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. Explain more »
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
The people of Israel got up early in the morning, to serve idols, at that time. Can't we get up early in the morning, to spend time with the Lord?
But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Our delight is supposed to be in the law of the Lord. We should look forward to spending personal time with the Lord, and delight in His Word.
Having started my new job recently, I have been having difficulty getting up and spending time with the Lord early enough in the morning, before work. I'll go to bed earlier, and get up earlier, to make sure not to neglect my morning time.
...the ungodly shall not stand...
But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Jesus asked Judas, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
What if He asked us the same question? Why have we believed in Him?
As believers, we can consider ourselves to be the Lord's close friends. What is our real motivation in coming to Him,

From the way that this verse explains these traditions, this book obviously must have been written to tell to people from other nations, or people at a later time. We should know that the Bible isn't just a message for certain people, back then. Let's be telling the message of the Bible, to all kinds of other people, today.
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
When people have wisdom, that is because God has made them wise, so that they can do what He commands them to do. We should work on what we have to do, with all our hearts, as if we are working for the Lord, Himself. And, let's be accepting the wisdom and ability we have, as gifts from Him.
Friend, wherefore art thou come?
Put up again thy sword into his place
All the disciples forsook Him, and fled
Many false witnesses came
