AT 6:10{SA 143:10{When you see someone doing with very great delight some beautiful and pleasant piece of work, have you not thought, "I should like to be able to do that!" and perhaps you have said, "Please teach me how to do it." Can you think of anything more pleasant to do than what the very angels are full of delight in doing? Can you think of anything more beautiful to do than what is done in the pleasant land, the beautiful home above? Can you fancy anything more interesting to do than what the dwellers there will never get tired of doing for thousands of millions of years? One version of this verse says, "Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth Thee." So doing God's will is just doing the things, one by one, that please Him. Why did David ask this? He goes on to say why—"For Thou art my God." If God is really our God, we too shall wish to do the thing that pleaseth Him. David did not think he could do it of himself, for he says, "Let Thy loving Spirit lead me." That loving Spirit will lead you too, so that even on earth you may begin to do what the angels are doing in Heaven.
It is but very little for Him that I can do,
Then let me seek to serve Him, my earthly journey through;
And without sigh or murmur. to do His holy will;
And in my daily duties His wise commands fulfill.
