Your Path Lord Psalm 25:5

5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.


David's prayer is one that we ought to repeat every morning before we get our day started. God's way and His will for our lives is imperative, not because He is God but because He as God has a perfect plan for our lives and He wants to bless us in tremendous ways. The only way God can do the things that He wants to do for us, is when we walk the paths that He has instructed us to walk. Any other way takes us away from the place where His abundant blessings can be found for our lives.

"Show me Your ways; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me." A way is a road. A path is a narrow walkway that has been tracked down because someone has traveled that way enough to make the ground bare where feet have trampled down the grass and there is nothing but barren ground left. God's path is most often narrow and it may well be that His path is not that well traveled but it is well marked. For this path is found in His truth, which He is more than willing to teach to us.

Our choice is to walk the way of the world or walk God's way. Our decision is to follow the path that He has laid for us as opposed to following the path that the world wants us to follow. Truth has only one source. Truth is not relative. Truth is not one thing today and something else tomorrow. Jesus reminded the Jews "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

We need to pray as David prayed and be determined to walk the walk and allow the Lord of glory to bless our lives as He so much longs to do. When we are willing to give our best to God, God is able to give His best to us; which is the sole reason that He created us in the first place!
