Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
When the Psalmist asks God to teach him how to follow God’s decrees, he gives us an important insight. It is one thing to learn the decrees, but another to follow them. In an age of quick and easy information, this passage challenges us to take as much care in applying God’s word to our day-to-day lives as we may take in learning it. The access to Biblical insight is plentiful, but the world needs to see Christians who apply those insights in a tangible way. Take a moment and think about things that you already know that need to become a reality today. ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
