We read Psalm 25 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. Verses 1-5 say this:
1 Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life. 2 O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me. 3 Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause. 4 Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. 5 Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.
Notice that David, the author of this Psalm is praying this to the Lord. He is committing his life to the Lord and then asking that the promises of the Lord be manifest. Then in verses 4-5 David is asking that the Lord continue to teach and train him in His Word! I have been sharing this for years now as a great way to start any Bible study! Asking the Teacher to teach us His Word! That is most definitely a prayer that is according to His Word/Will, so it is one that we KNOW He will answer! (See 1 John 5:14-15) Then David makes some powerful declarations concerning the Lord and His Word in these verses:
9 He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way. 10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
12 Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose. 13 He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.
AMEN! Remember, ALL of the promises of the Lord are YES and AMEN in HIM (2 Corinthians 1:20)! Our Father desires for us ALL to walk in the fullness of His promises! He desires that we ALL walk in the fullness of His LIFE! John 10:10:
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
You CAN live your BEST LIFE by loving God's Word and DOING it! He is waiting to confirm His Word in your life! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I AM":
Shalom in Him!
