Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

So I'm chapter 25 verses 4 and 5. Make me to know your ways, O Lord,

teach me your paths, lead me in your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation.

For you, I wait all the day long. I want a great picture of God as our leader,

our teacher, and our Savior. So just envision those three pictures of God in your life right now.

One, He's your teacher, my teacher. Make me to know your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths.

We need God to teach us the paths that we should walk in. So we look to God as our teacher,

and we think about the Holy Spirit as the teacher in us, leading, guiding, directing our thoughts,

as we meditate on His Word and we walk in obedience to it. We need God to teach us His paths.

And then, verse 5, lead me in your truth and teach me. So He doesn't just teach us, like,

tell us what to do. He leads us. This is the beauty of His Spirit in us. We don't just have

instructions. We have the instructor dwelling in us, leading us, guiding us, directing us,

lead me in your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation. He's our Savior.

He saves us from not just the penalty of sin. He saves us from the power of sin in our lives.

So that we can walk in His truth so that we can obey His teaching and follow His leadership

as we trust in Him. For you, I wait all the day long. The picture of waiting there is just

looking to God, trusting in God as our teacher, our leader, and our Savior. So God, we pray to you

in light of all three of these pictures right now. We praise you that you're all these things to us.

We praise you as our teacher. You're the perfect teacher. Everything you teach is perfect and good,

right and just, pure and holy. All your words, all your teaching is what we need.

So teach us, we pray, we pray for humility. Help us to be students in this way of your paths.

We want to follow your paths. I pray especially for people who are going through decision-making
