Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. 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. Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!” Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. I wonder if David would forget God’s ways sometimes, and would he start to doubt that God would come through? I often think on the words of David, in the 25th psalm. You see I’ve been there, whether the doubt comes from my enemies, my own sin or the circumstances that I my find myself in, the doubt is real, so real that I sometimes don’t feel that there is a way out or anywhere to run. The waves keep crashing over me and I feel like I’m sinking with no hope to cling too.īut then I think of David, the man after God’s own heart. The man who conquered the bear, the lion and the giant. The man who danced before the Lord and had a love for God that is to be desired. Who’s sin is declared before us in the psalm and in God’s Word, yet it’s not David’s sin that jump’s off the page, it’s not his failure’s or doubt that we remember. What we remember is his love and faith in the Lord. We remember how in his darkest times, he cried out to the one who cared, the one who would listen and act. No matter how fierce the enemy, how dark the sin, how overwhelming the situation, David cried out with his whole heart. He did not appeal to God based on who he was, what he had done, or accomplished. His appeal was based on who God was and what God alone could do. ![]() David would remember the great deeds of the Lord, how God had recused him in the past, and he believed that God would do it again.Īs I really think about it, the thing that David did so well, that I often do not, is to reestablish my heart in the ways of God. “Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight” In Psalm 25 David asked God to ‘make me know your ways.’ Moses asks the same thing in Exodus 33:13 To turn back to the truth of His word and believe His word above all else. Yes, make me know your ways, or show me your ways. You see, when we ask God to make His ways known to us, our hearts are re-established. And how often do we forget the goodness of our God? It’s not a new thing we are learning, but an old thing that we had forgotten. How often do we forget that God is for us and not against us, even if we blow it sometimes? We often operate as if God is just waiting to condemn us. Romans 8 states, ‘There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.’ We need our hearts re-established to the Truth of who our God is, and how He loves us and protects us. How He disciplines us out of love to turn us back to Him and His ways, not out of anger, but out of love. It is this truth that David understood, so no matter what the issue, David turned to his God, and every time, God was faithful. So today I would say to us all, it’s a good day to re-establish our hearts in the ways of our God.Maher was born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada. ![]()
