Chatting with Jesus
Friday, January 27, 2023
Lord, David the psalmist, after wandering off the paths of righteousness, righted his spiritual life with You. He’d learned a painful lesson and determined never to stray again.
As I read the psalmist’s prayer, Your Spirit said I should make this my daily prayer as well.
“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. All day long I put my hope in You,” Psalm 25:4,5 (NLT)
Because this broken world offers pilgrims countless pathways to follow, how will we know which road to choose? Scripture instructs us that as Christ followers we should seek divine guidance to know what is true and be able to spot immediately what is counterfeit. Knowing the Scriptures is crucial to staying on track. The psalmist shared this message in his great collection of Your truths in Psalm 119:
“Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet, and a light for my path,” —Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
Lord, may I determine to learn Your Word so I may follow You as Your Spirit directs my life. You have the power to keep me from falling away from faith. Now I must choose. Do I yield to Your power and follow Your leading, even when I don’t understand where You are taking me? Or do I follow my own ways, drawn away by glitzy distractions that promise fulfillment, but always come up empty?
Like the psalmist, I’ve made my choice: All day long I put my hope in You, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
