Proclamation:
"Teach me to
do Your will, for You are my God; may
Your good Spirit lead me
on level ground." Psalms 143:10 (NIV)
Explanation:
Explanation:
Under the
influence of The Holy Spirit of God King David wrote this psalm. David prayed and asked God to teach him and
help him to do His 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.
Application:
King David prayed during the good times and the bad times in his life. Here 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 too 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. (Philippians 4:6) We should pray for His will to 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 and understand the fact that if The Holy Spirit of God is not driving the bus which is our lives, then the devil is driving it. We cannot follow God and follow man at the same time. (Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13) We must choose whom we will follow and serve. (Joshua 24:15) Only those who ask for God’s help, guidance and direction will receive it.
