S – Make your ways known to me, Lord; teach me your paths. ⁵ Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I wait for you all day long.

Psalms 25:4–5 CSB

O – Commentary:

The psalmist uses several Hebrew words here for learning or instruction as he asks Yahweh to teach (lamad), lead (darakh), and make known (yada’) His true paths. The psalmist trusts in Yahweh because He guides and protects him (Ps 23:1–3

 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016), Ps 25:4–5.

A – When we invite the Holy Spirit into our day, we are inviting God to interact with us as He sees fit.  We want him to make known, teach and guide us.  He will not only make known his character and integrity, he will also help us understand his timing and heart.

R – Heavenly Father, you are God.  We invite your Holy Spirit to make known, teach and guide us today so we will know you more intimately.  We want your character, integrity and heart to be evident in us.  We trust and put our faith in you.
