Scripture:
Psalm 119:26-27
When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes! Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works.
Observation:
The psalmist shares a few facts of his experience. He had a “way”. He confessed it. God has a “way”. God then made him understand it through his precepts. The psalmist’s way became God’s way through meditating on those precepts.
Application:
I have a way. Sometimes it is in alignment with God. Most of the time it is not. God has a way. He isn’t still trying to figure it out. It is defined a clear. His way is defined in His word. In order for my way to align with his way I must commit to the precepts of God and meditate on them.
A few things…
-I must admit my way to God. I must confess that my ways are not His ways. This goes a long way in helping me not trust in myself or in my gut. (Admit)
-I must remember that God has a way and his way is unfailing. It might not be what I want to hear or what I would always choose, but it is always available and always right. (Remember)
-I must commit to His word, both reading and meditating. Reading exposes His way and meditating is when my heart becomes aligned with His word and way. (Commit)
Prayer:
Decisions, decisions. My life is filled with choices. May I learn to trust your way and not my own. I admit that my way is different than yours many times. I remember today that your ways is higher than my way. I commit to your way. Even if it is different than what I want or what someone else wants for me.
