Scripture: Psalms 25: 1, 4-7
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.(1) Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.(4) Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.(5) Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.(6) Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.(7)
Scripture Commentary: Teach me how I should be; lead my life according to your ways, Lord
David asked God to keep his enemies from overcoming him. He asked God to lead, teach, and show him mercy.
Your enemies not only oppose you. They also oppose God and how He wants you to live.
You are opposite to God’s laws when you place money, success, prestige, and lust in your life. When you let these things overcome you, then you are living as Satan wants. If you begin to live this way, then you’re lost. And your family and friends may think that living for God is futile.
You must keep the Lord Jesus Christ in your life at all times so that your enemies will not succeed
Pray for guidance. Place yourself in His hands. Let God guide you in the path of righteousness.
Your first step is to want to be guided and to realize that God’s primary guidance is in His word. Read Psalms 119. It tells of the endless knowledge found in God’s Word.
Do not be tempted to demand answers to all of your questions. You should be prepared for direction and guidance.
Seek and you will find the path that God has prepared for you.
