Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your
truth and teach me, For You are
the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, Your
tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. – Psalm 25.4-6
Show
me Your ways
Teach
me Your paths
Lead
me in Your truth and teach me in it
I
will wait for you
Remember
Your mercies and love
What
a wonderful prayer of submission and supplication.
David
was seeking answers. He knew deep down in his heart that God was in control.
But
David was a man of flesh just like us. We know from other scriptures that there
were times when his faith was weak.
But
here he sucks it up and turns his thoughts toward God. David decides to let God
sort things out.
He
asks God to show him the right way to go. Only God’s way will work in the long
run. There is a way that seems right to us, but end of those ways are death. He
asks God to teach us His way – and He does that through His word. He asks God to
lead him in truth and teach him in truth – something God does for us in the
Holy Spirit.
With
that knowledge we ought to be able to wait on the Lord because of His love and
His mercy. There really is no place for our fears and anxieties if we believe that
He is leading us and guiding us and directing us and teaching us.
How
can I fear, indeed. Jesus is near. And He ever watches over me.*
