TEACH ME HOW TO LIVE

Today's reading: Psalm 27-29

"Teach me how to live, O Lord..." Psalm 27:11 NLT

David, the king, with all his resources, all his tangible comforts, all his servants--asks God to teach him how to live?

David, the mighty warrior, with all his might, with all his accomplishments, with his resume filled with victories--asks God to teach him how to live?

David, the simple shepherd boy, with all his soundness of mind, with his ability to praise in the green pasture or facing a lion--asks God to teach him how to live?

Maybe it's a lesson for us.

As automatic as breathing and a heart's pulse may be to us, there still is the need to ask God to teach us to live.

Not just exist.

Not just survive.

Not just have life--but live.

Because, friends, that kind of living will open all sorts of doors for us to introduce those around us to our Father!
