When we don't know what to do!

7 POINTS TO PRAY
Ps.25:4-5

  This morning's study time consisted of studying scripture and praying it into my life. I have always been big on praying scripture. People have said to me that they don't know how to pray and I tell them that the The Bible is a prayer book! Just take Psalms and Proverbs and those two can fill your day!!
  So, my scripture this morning was Ps. 25:4-5.  I started to read it and I saw where each section between the commas seem to fit my day today.
I will write down my notes here for you all to check out. Here goes!

1.  "Show me Your ways"--God's ways; the foundation of His Word.
2.  "O Lord"--a statement of commitment of God in our life.
3.  "Teach me Your paths"--Hebrew meaning; refers to the moral principles which the Lord prescribes for His followers. (verses 8-10)
4.  "Guide me in Your truth"--referring to God's commandments--they are trustworthy and accurate expression of His divine will.
5.  "Teach me"--are we teachable? Do we allow ourselves to the Godly teachings and do we learn anything from them?
6.  "for You are my God and my Savior"--acknowledgement of who Christ is in our lives.
7.  "and my hope is in you all day long"--where is our hope? We need to keep Jesus in front of us all day long. His Word, prayer, worship, etc.

  David sensed his need for divine guidance and instruction. How many times do we ask ourselves what to do in any given situation that might come across our path daily? 
  David wanted to walk in The Lord's righteous ways but he needed help in discerning them.
  How do we apply that in our life today? There are so many things going on in and around today.
  We need to stop for a moment and seek God's will in our lives. The last part of verse 5 is: all day long. That's hard to do! 
  So, take these two verses and pray them into your life. Read them. Memorize them. Allow God to minister to you. 
  You never know what He will say!!

God Bless!!

Paul
