Psalm 119:73

Psalm 119:73 "...give me understanding that I may learn Thy commandments."

To even learn of God's commandments before we even obey we must have understanding given to us by the Father.
There is a depth, a purpose, and a goal in the commandments not just rules to follow and we get a prize at the end of the day. His commandments are designed to lift us up above the corruption of this world; to move us into a domain that belongs to Him and Him alone. We must see beyond just rules and formulas, visualize the ultimate goal, the glorious result, the beauty of holiness. We must learn to see beyond our limited vision and see according to God's word.
verse 80 "May my heart be blameless in Thy statures that I may not be ashamed."

the scriptures speak in several places about not being ashamed.
There will come a day when every sinner will be ashamed, every one's eyes will be opened to the holiness of God and will fall on their knees and worship Him.
Sin, selfishness, blindness, hard hearts will be ashamed of how they spent their time on earth.
