[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 25]] ## Title: Let God Lead the Way ## Scripture: (Psalm 25:4-5) “Make me understand your ways, O Lord. Teach me your paths. Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long.” (NET) ## Observation: We think of God’s Word like a map that we follow, and there is a lot of truth in it. However, God’s Word says that it is a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. This means God’s Word gives us an overall idea of what is happening, but He mostly shines on our next step. In today’s song, the psalmist is asking God to lead the way because all his hope is in the Lord. This is the way to live, but it is also important to realize that we live according to the guidance of the Lord in the way He wants to do it. We can become discouraged if we ask God to lead the way and then He leads in a way that is different from what we would want. We may ask God to show us our whole lives in advance, but He has us settle for the next step. We must trust that God has His reasons and let Him lead. ## Application: Ask God to lead the way today and then trust Him to do so in His own way. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us through following Your Word.
