Teach Me

Life is certainly not easy. We need a guide, a compass, a way to live.

I remember one time while reading through the Psalms a number of years ago when a verse from Psalm 86 (verse 11) jumped out at me …

"Teach me your way, Lord, so that I can walk in your truth. Make my heart focused only on honoring your name." (CEB)

This has become my prayer. I hope it will become your prayer, as well. We are disciples — people who strive to be like our teacher!

“Teach me your way, Lord.”

Few qualities are more important for a disciple than teachability. Disciples—learners, students, apprentices—by nature, must be teachable. Disciples of Jesus want to know his way so that they can walk in it.

And disciples of Jesus should have one sole focus—honoring God’s name. I love the last sentence in Psalm 86.11: “Make my heart focused only on honoring your name.”

This is a great verse to memorize and make it our prayer.

Amen.
