READ: PSALM 25
Let’s focus on verses 4 and 5. “Show me the right path, O lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.”
He was 87 years old, a delightful man, full of life and enthusiasm. When I first visited with him I noticed a thick text book by his chair titled Organic Chemistry. I asked him if that was for light reading. He said, “Heavens, no! I audit a course every semester at Auburn. I take a course on a subject I know nothing about. I love learning new things.” At 87 he was still teachable.
Are you teachable? King David had walked with God for years. But he knew he still had a lot of growing to do. He was praying for God to continue to teach him. Don’t get so settled and comfortable with what you know that you are no longer open to God teaching you a new thing. God always has something to show us, grow us, and teach us. If you stop being teachable you just may miss a fresh new blessing from the Lord.
Prayer Focus: write verses 4 and 5 on a note card, place it by your bed and the first thing every morning pray those words out loud.
