‘Teach me your way, Lord’ (Psalm 86:11).
In our reading, David sings about his desire to learn more about God. He acknowledges God as his Lord as one who is ‘a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness’. Surely, this is a God who we want to learn more about.
Throughout this week, we have travelled around our Scriptures and have seen the importance of getting stuck into God’s word. Like David, we acknowledge that we can’t learn about God without his help. Like David, we don’t want our heart to be divided between serving God and serving ourselves. We want our hearts to be glorifying God forever!
Back in my Scripture Union days, our motto was ‘To know Christ and make him known’. This still sums up my desire. I want to get to know Christ better, and the more I learn, the more I want to share with others. Do you want the same thing? Are the fears and troubles of the world stopping you? Notice in our psalm that David goes on to mention the troubles he is facing – but these don’t stop him from worshipping God. It’s rather the opposite. His worship is even stronger. Turn to our Father, and he will hear you and teach you.
Holy Father, thank you for your compassion, your grace, and your abounding love shown to me, especially in the death and resurrection of my Lord Jesus. Teach me your way. Give me an undivided heart. Deliver me from my fears and troubles. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
