In preparing for the season of Advent we take a look at numerous scriptures. One of these is from the Psalms and I just love the boldness of David's prayer. It is a sure sign that he trusted in the goodness of his God, despite his own shortcomings. David knew that God's love and faithfulness did not depend on his (David's) ability to be good or perfect.
"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 day long. Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old." - Psalm 25:4-6
I urge us all to carve out some time in the busyness of Advent - we will be better off for asking the Lord to show us his ways; to seek his mercy and to know his steadfast love.
Living in Grace
