“Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 (ESV)
One of the wonderful promises we have from our God is the promise that He will lead us on the path of life that He has designed for us. Another verse in the Book of Proverbs that we looked at recently tells us to not trust our own understanding only but to acknowledge God in all our ways. He promises to make our path straight and clear. Our verse today is a prayer asking God to fulfill his promises by making known what His ways are and teaching us the right path – the straight path He has made for us. Yes, our loving Lord is ready to lead us along that path in His truth. He is eager to teach us how we should then live for our best benefit and for His own honor and glory. And why should this matter to us? Why should this path be the one we seek? Because our salvation comes from the path-maker. The psalmist ask the God of his salvation to make known, to teach the way, to lead in God's truth, and to teach that truth. After asking for this, we wait. We wait all day, and every day.
