| “Teach me to do your will…” |
| —Psalm 143:10a |
Do you remember the song from the musical or movie, “The Sound of Music,” with the following words:
Climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every highway, ’til you find your dream”
This song paints a musical picture of how difficult life can sometimes become. And, that picture is true for many of us.
The Psalmist also understood the trials and tribulations of life when he wrote these hopeful and encouraging words of prayer in Psalm 143:10:
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
As a new day begins, we may trust the Holy Spirit to make our pathway level and to lead us along in a trustworthy manner. Let us determine to make every effort to seek, to know, and to do the will of God by studying His written Word and by obediently following His direction.
Then, let us step out with confidence in order to gently and respectfully share God’s love with those we encounter along the way. If we do this, we will find that God will lighten the load we carry and give us a joy that will help us overcome whatever difficulties we may face in our lives.
