Psalm 25:9 - Thoughtful Living.
Psalm 25:9 (NIV) He guides the humble in
what is right and teaches them his way.
INTRODUCTION
The meek are guided by the Lord, because
they are teachable, willing to be instructed.
They have a sincere desire to know and to do the
will of God. He cannot lead those who are too
proud to be taught, who are bent upon having their
own way. Of the double-minded man - he who seeks
to follow his own will, while professing to do
the will of God - it is written, "Let not that
man think that he shall receive anything of the
Lord." James 1:7. PP384
COMMENTARY PEARL
Are you living thoughtfully and
intentionally - or automatically? Its so easy to get up
each morning, do our work, enjoy some relaxation
or entertainment, and fall into bed each night
without giving any thought to Gods involvement in
our lives. But to be ignorant of how He has
blessed, guided, protected, and warned us is a
foolish way to live. Just consider the benefits of
keeping our spiritual eyes and ears open throughout
the day.
Those who are aware of the Lords
presence during their daily activities enjoy the
peace of knowing that He is always in control and
working to accomplish His good purposes. Every
days experiences with Him teach them to know and
love Him more.
When we learn to see Gods footprints
in our days, we will become aware of the scope
of His involvement in our lives. Maybe He
strengthened you for a task or opened a door of
opportunity. Perhaps He guided your decisions or helped
you respond in a godly way to a difficult
person.
If our ears are open to the Lords
warnings and instructions, we wont repeat the same
mistakes again and again. But those who are deaf to
His voice will continue in unhealthy thought
patterns, negative emotions, and foolish responses.
Each night before you go to sleep, take
some time to reflect on the days activities.
The Lord is constantly with you, guarding and
guiding your way. He wants you to see Him in
everything and understand life from His perspective as
you rely on His wisdom and power to face any
challenge. [In Touch Daily Devotional by Charles
Stanley at www.intouch.org]
CLOSING THOUGHT
God does not guide rebels, but He joyfully
leads those who fear Him and submit to His will
(Ps. 32:8-9). Keep your eyes on the Lord and let
Him have His way, He knows where He is going and
what He is doing, so follow Him by faith.
[Chapter by Chapter Bible Commentary by Warren
Wiersbe]
