I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding, whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.
Lord,
What an amazing promise, “I will instruct you…teach you…counsel you.” Jesus promised to send a counselor, an advocate, a paraclete. You are the instructor. What an amazing promise it is!
Now the question, how are we to learn your lessons? How are we to discern your instruction? The answer we know but tend to ignore: Jesus, scripture, community, prayer, attentiveness to the still small silent voice.
Be the instructor, teacher and counselor of my life, today and every day, O Lord.
Personal Prayers: Ask God to lead you in the way that you should go today – large matters and small.
Name 5 things for which you are grateful and say “Thank you” to God.
In Christ’s name,
Amen.
