Topic: Show Me Thy Ways.
Text: Psalm 25: 4- 5.
4 Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths.5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour, and my hope is in You all day long. Amen.
Limited and fragile, we don’t even know what we want; let alone what is good for us. That is the fate of man. To make matters worse, we have no idea what will happen in the next second too.
Put that together and you will get a people who can be confident and proud, as if they are in charge of everything that surrounds them; yet in reality, they do not even know what to do or what is best for them to do because they have no clue what the next second will offer them.
The Creator made us. So obviously, He left a huge part of the mystery of the universe for Himself, both as answer and fulfilment.
He is not like man; He knows which way to go, what to do and even what should happen tomorrow. He even knows you inside out and knows what is best for you.
You see, in our limitation, we often try many ways hoping that it works out for us. But the Bible has warned that “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14: 12).
Truth is, the omniscient God who knows everything is the ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THE BEST/ RIGHT WAY FOR US.
Since the day David discovered this truth, He never stopped saying; “Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour, and my hope is in You all day long”.
Why don’t you make this your prayer too? Especially since you agree with us that you need God to guide you through your studies, relationship, marriage, job interview, promotion and travels.
Ask Him to lead you in the path of righteousness for His name sake. So that even if you happen to be walking in the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil. For His rod and staff will be there to comfort you.
On His path, you find goodness and mercy following you all the days of your life; both in the now and forevermore.
