God’s Will

Psalm 143:10a

Teach me to do Your will; for You are my God;

You normally say this phrase of “show me” or “teach me” or “lead me” to someone else whom you think is wiser and more mature than you. Someone who has the power to make it happen. Someone who can be trusted. Someone who has more knowledge than you. Someone who can bring the best out of you. 

At the same time, when you are saying these phrases, it means you are humble enough to actually let go of your own will and follow that person’s will and teaching.

This Psalm wrote that King David said these phrases to God. David clearly acknowledged that he thought highly of God and how much he wanted God to bring the best out of him.

David fully surrendered to God to take control of his life and his will. Even in his difficult time, David saw it as an opportunity for him to understand and obey the will of God. 

Be like David, make time every day to pray to God and ask Him to teach you to fully trust in His will, not your own will.

Prayer

Dear God, please continue to teach me Your ways and Your will, and help me to understand them. Amen.
