Scripture: Psalms 25: 1, 4-5, 7
In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. (1) Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.(4-5) Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good. (7)
Scripture Commentary: Put your trust in God. He will not fail you.
David asked God to keep his enemies from overcoming him because they opposed what God stood for. Enemies oppose not only us but also God’s way of living. David put his trust in God.
When we place money, success, prestige, and lust in our lives, we then live in opposition to God’s laws. At that point we are living as Satan wants us to live.
If Christians live in opposition to God, then our family and friends think living for God is futile. Christians must keep the Lord Jesus Christ front and center at all times.
Pray for guidance.
Place yourself in His hands. Let Him guide you in the path of righteousness.
The first step is to want to be guided and to realize that God’s primary guidance is in the Word. Read Psalms 119. It tells of the endless knowledge found in God’s Word.
Don’t be tempted to demand answers to all your questions. Be prepared for God’s direction and guidance. Seek and you will find the path that God has prepared for you.
