Teach Me To Do Your Will

"Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground."  Psalms 143:10 (NIV)

King David wrote this psalm and asked God to teach him, and help him to do God's will.  He asked that The Holy Spirit would lead him in the way of uprightness, to a place of safety and protection where there was goodness. 

David prayed in good times and in bad times.  He asked for God's instruction, guidance, and direction to ensure that he would obey the will of God.  He wanted The Spirit of God to be his guide.  We would do well to follow David's example.  All to often we do things and go places without first praying to God for His guidance and direction, to be sure that we are following the will of God.  We should pray that His will be done in our lives.  In the model prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, He said pray to our Father in heaven, "Thy will be done." (Matthew 6:10 and Luke 11:2)  We need to recognize the fact that if The Holy Spirit is not driving the bus that is our lives, then the devil is driving it.
