Teach
Me Your Way, Lord,
That
I
May Rely On Your Faithfulness
Scripture
Psalm
86
11 Teach
me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.
Observation
Last
week, my brother Rick, asked me to memorize Psalm 86:11-13 together
with him! I am glad that he didn't tell me to get it done in a week!
The
best way I know to get it into my heart is to use it so I thought
that I would do that this morning.
Looking
at verse 11, “Teach me Your way, Lord …” the best way I know to
learn from the Lord is to be in His Word everyday. How can you and I
learn from the Lord if we are not spending time with Him in His Word.
I
am concerned that we Christians are spending way too much time
looking at social media, while we hardly spend any time at all in
God's Word.
The
second part of verse 11 speaks to our busy and distracted lives when
it says, “give me an undivided heart”.
Honestly
... do we really need social media on everything … our tablet,
computer, and phone? It is so addicting … so time consuming …
isn't it!
We
are on kids about all the time they spend on video games … what
about us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter?
Why
not make a commitment to the Lord to spend time with Him in His Word
everyday.
Psalm
46:10
“Be still,
and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted
in the earth.”
Application
I
will spend time in God's Word every day. How about you?
Prayer
Teach
me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my
heart; I will glorify your name forever. For
great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from
the depths, from the realm of the dead. Psalm 86:11-13
