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!
