Wisdom for PeacemakingBài mẫu

When you need God’s wisdom, do you ask him to teach you? God deeply desires that you fill your soul with his Truth. King David, who wrote Psalm 86, says, “Teach me…O Lord.” He desires to fully agree with the Lord’s desire—learning God’s ways and walking in God’s Truth. David wants to journey on God’s road, called Truth. Next, David asks God, “Unite my heart.” Interestingly, he doesn’t ask God, “Unite my heart with your love” or “Unite my heart with your grace.” Instead, his prayer is for God to “Unite my heart to fear your name.” David doesn’t want any part of his heart to be disloyal or distracted. He desires to have whole-hearted reverence as he walks with God. This should inspire us! APPLICATION What is your path? Are you walking in a teachable frame of mind? What unites your heart? Open your heart to God so he can teach you his ways. Learn from him so you may be able to walk in Truth. We need to learn so Christlike behavior characterizes us. Do you unite your heart in being right or fearing the Lord’s name in your relationships? When you deeply revere the name of God, you will be humble and forgiving. Lord Jesus, teach me your ways so that I will walk in your truths. Unite my heart with your heart. Help me to understand what it means to fear your name. (Continue praying.)
