Scripture: Psalms 119: 25-32

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.  I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.  Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.  My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.  Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.  I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.  I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.  I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.  HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.  Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Scripture Commentary: Teach me, O Lord, and give me understanding and I will keep it in my heart

As we travel through life, The Bible is the map, and it points out safe paths so we can avoid obstacles that may be in our way.  This is the map God uses to teach us His word and His ways.  If we ignore the map, we will wander aimlessly through life and risk missing our real destination.

Bookstores are filled with rule books and self-help books, but the authors never come and help us follow the rules.  But God does.  This is the uniqueness of our Bible.  God not only provides the rules and guidelines, but He also comes with us personally each day and strengthens us so we can live according to those rules.  We must invite Him in and respond to His direction.

We need His guidance.  Reach out to Him.
