Listen from:
“Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness” (Psa. 143:1010Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. (Psalm 143:10)).
As the days come and go, we stand in continual need of guidance, if we would do the Lord’s will. Our constant prayer ought to be: “Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee.” And in view of His promise that “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye,” we may confidently ask Him to “show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.” Satan continually tries to divert the Christian from doing the Lord’s will, and how fitting that we ask the Lord to “lead me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make Thy way straight before my face,” and “teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.” And “good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way.” “What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose.” “He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
The will of God, I would do it,
Each day of my life down here,
Seeking not my way, but His,
Waiting for Him to appear.
Psa. 143:8; 32:8; 25:4-5; 5:8; 27:11; 25:8-9,12; 23:3.
