Psalm 25:4
4Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths;
David was enduring yet another affliction. In the psalm, David not only asked God to protect him but he said he trust the Lord. David as king had many enemies. He had many who reveled at a slight chance of his failing. But when we are weak, that's when the Lord is at His strongest. For that's when we stop doing things in our own strength and hold fast to the Lord''s hand. David asked the Lord to show him His ways and teach him His paths. The Lord said it in Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways." But if we don't stop to look to the Lord we will never understand which path we need to take. So many of us take the wrong path because we leave the Lord out of the decision. But what if the Lord's decision is different from yours you say? The answer is in verse 10 of the psalm "All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful." It means the Lord's way is always the BEST way. He sees what we cannot in our finite minds. He sees down the road what that wrong path or choice will bring. So the Lord gladly gives the right path to those who want to see. Do you want to see? Do you want Him to show you the way? Do you want the Lord to teach you His path for you? All you have to do is ask, listen and then obey. Yes, it's not as easy when we want to do something else but again, the Lord sees what we can't so it means trusting beyond what we ourselves are capable of seeing and doing.
