| "Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name." Psalm 86:11 We need to be taught God's way and His truth. Our hearts need to be united to fear His name. Christ came to do the will of His Father, and He did it! There are many Christian workers today who are not in open sin, but they sure are lazy. They kill time doing this and that, and are busy here and there, but the main business remains undone. They are not guarding the stuff, and they are not alert in serving the Lord as they should. How we need to pray, "Unite my heart to fear thy name." The psalmist's prayer that preceded it is, "Teach me thy way, O Lord," which is, I think, the solution for a wandering, divided heart. The first thing that the apostle Paul said after he was converted was, ". . . Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? . . ." (Acts 9:6). The psalmist had the answer, "Teach me thy way, O Lord." And the Lord has promised to teach His children, "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8). "I will walk in thy truth" should be our response, which means we should walk in the light that the Word of God gives us. Then He will receive the praise of our whole heart. When our heart is united and devoted to Him, the greater our praise will be. God Bless You. |
