Psalm 25:4-5

Psalm 25:4-5

Psalm 25:4 “Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;”
 
[Praise be to you, LORD (Jehovah), the holy One who loves to reveal your ways to us. I thank you for what you have shown us through your Word, for what you will show us through your Spirit, and for how you will faithfully shepherd us in paths of righteousness for your name’s sake.]
 
Psalm 25:5 “guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior,”
 
[Praise you that you have made yourself our God and our Savior. As such, you desire to keep us in your way, showing us your truth through your Word, giving us the needed input so we can obey you.
 
You are Elohim, the mighty and faithful One who has provided salvation through your powerful and personal suffering. Having paid the highest price possible, you will certainly follow through in the small acts of applying that salvation to our lives every day. You are fully worthy of worship! You are totally worthy of obedience!]
 
“and my hope is in you all day long.”
 
[In what else, in whom else can we hope? There is no one else powerful enough, big enough, loving enough, wise enough to hope in. And there is no one else who is faithful, gracious, good and great like you, who cares for your sheep, protects your lambs, leads your flock.
 
You are the God of hope who desires to fill us with all joy and peace, if we will only trust in you. Then our lives will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:13)
 
I praise you, Lord Jesus, for what you will do in this day, in the large situations before me as well as the small details. I praise you that you will help, guide and protect me in your goodness and grace, in your wisdom and love.
 
I praise you for the need to wait, for the opportunity to trust before seeing your help, for the chance to give the sacrifice of thanksgiving, for the privilege of giving you honor by responding in faith rather than in fear.
 
You are worthy of our trust, our worship, our obedience, our praise. May you be exalted in my life today, O Lord God, King of glory, Ruler of all.
