PSALM 143:10

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God;

may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

TO PONDER

Here we find that we should turn our focus toward what God desires for us.  As we walk in His will, we learn more and more just how to walk in His will, and more of that will is revealed to us. This shows us again that God leads us into His will for our lives day by day, one step at a time. His plan for each of us unfolds before us step by step as we continue to move forward in faith, and we also find here that this journey into His will for us begins and is sustained by the acknowledgement that He is “our God”. What this essentially involves is a continued awareness of, and a life ordered by, the understanding that He is God and that means that He knows what is best, that He determines what is right or wrong. It involves a "die-heart" commitment to walk in His way for us no matter what.

PRAYER:Lord, we have often, in our life walked on “bumpy” ground, through our own mistakes, stumbled and fallen. It is often these past stumbles which have gotten us off your path for our life. We now ask God, that you would help us avoids these stumbles in the future, understanding and acknowledging that it is only as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit that we will be able to avoid these mistakes and walk into your purpose and plan for our life.
