Devotion:
Read Psalm 25:4-9.
What do you pray for the most? In the portion of your prayer time when you are making requests or asking God for something, what do you ask for the most? I am reminded here of King Solomon. When he first became king at a very young age, he felt inadequate to fulfill this role. When God offered to give him anything he wanted, he asked for wisdom. What would you ask for in that situation? Again, what do you pray for when you do pray?
The Psalmist asks to be taught: “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me…” This writer later acknowledges in verse nine that God will guide those who are humble, who realize they have more to learn and want to learn. So, this writer prays for wisdom, God’s wisdom, God’s way. Be assured that if you earnestly seek to learn the way of Christ, the Holy Spirit will teach you that way.
What do you pray for the most?
Personal Worship Option:
Offer your own prayer, seeking to be taught the way of God in Christ.
