Psalm 143:8

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Whether it was seeking refuge from His enemies, in deep repentance for His transgressions, or to worship and glorify God…the foundation upon which the prayer and praises of David rested was the righteousness, faithfulness, and goodness of God. David learned many things about the Lord in his life. One important lesson was that no matter how dark the night was, or how mountainous the problems he had to face, or how fierce the enemy that stalks our path, God is our strength, and He is our shield and armor. Like David, we must trust in our Father and never doubt His loving kindness, which is new every morning. Like David, we should cry out to our Heavenly Father to teach us the way in which we should walk, for God will lift up our souls. But how can God teach us His ways? How can we walk in His ways? Well, God has laid out His plans and purposes for us in His Word, and the Bible should be the immovable foundation upon which our trust in God is founded. He clearly lays out the path that we are to follow and we should read, learn, and digest the Word of God with an undivided heart so that we may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God in each of our lives; that we should know God…and Jesus Christ, Whom He has sent.
