Believers live under an open heaven and we have the freedom to go to our Lord God at anytime. How very reassuring, especially at this time as our nation is facing difficult times that are or will be effecting many if not all of us. Our trust is in Him to teach and guide us. King David had confidence in this as we see in Psalm 25 (a prayer for instruction).

He freely asked,
"Lead me in Your truth, and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day. Vs 5
Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your loving kindnesses, for they have been from old. Vs. 6

Notice in verse 10 David states a truth about the paths of the Lord and he also gives the condition of receiving this promise.
"All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies." Vs. 10

Psalm 143 is titled "Teach Me to Do Your Will" and David prays, "Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You." Vs. 8 "Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness." Vs. 10

Is this our habit to daily, early in the morning, lift our souls to our Heavenly Father? In that time with our Father do we ask to know His will for us? Are our hearts and minds open to be taught and guided along the path He desires for us each day?

No place is beyond the reach of God's hand as we see in Psalm 139:9-10 "If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me."

"A man's steps are of the Lord's;
How then can a man understand his own way?" Proverbs 20:24

How secure we are because God is the One who leads, guides, teaches and is always there. So often we go to the Lord for His guidance, but then fail to wait for Him to answer. Here is where the word of Isaiah 30:15 is being established which says, "...In quietness and trust (confidence) is your strength..."

"Those who trust in the Lord
Are like mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever." Psalm 125:1-2

So, along with any asking comes the absolute necessity of trusting in, relying on and clinging to our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. And to know that, "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength..." Isaiah 40:31

Hallelujah! Praise our Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen
