“Teach me Your way, O LORD;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.”  Psalm 86:11

In this verse there are three things in the Psalmist David’s heart that he desires of the LORD.  He is asking the LORD to teach him, he is committing himself to walk in truth and he is asking to have his heart made to reverence the LORD’S name.  Like the Psalmist, therefore, let us be teachable, careful of our walk and fear (reverence) the Lord.

Let us look at some verses of Scripture that refer to these things.

*Teachableness:
Illustrated in the life of Ezra,
“Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.”  Ezra 8:21

Teachableness  is essential to entrance into God’s Kingdom,
Jesus speaking,
“Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”  
Matthew 18:3

Exhibited by the disciples:
“And it came to pass, as He was praying…when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’”
Luke 11:1

Saul/Paul’s response to the Lord on the Damascus Road,
“So he, trembling and astonished, said, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’…”  Acts 9:6

In seeking, the Philippian jailor is converted,
“And he brought them out and said, ‘Sirs what must I do to be saved?’”
Acts 16:30  

There are other Scriptures that refer to seekers, those who desire to be taught, but I will leave that to your own further study.  (Read all in context.)
*In past messages we have looked into walking in the truth (the Believer’s walk) so I will only give one verse here.  It is the beginning and the end of walking in truth!
“Jesus said to him.’ I am the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 14:6  (My emphasis)

Jesus is the person of truth, therefore, being led by the Holy Spirit of God we walk in Him!  So then, to walk in Him is to walk in newness of life, in faith, in love, worthily, with caution and Christ-like.

*The Psalmist desires a heart united in reverence to the Name of God and since God is one with His Name, let us have hearts that revere our God in a manner that pleases Him.  Hearts that seek to give Him all honor and glory.

Solomon in Ecclesiastes 12:13 sums it all up as follows:
 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments, 
For this is the whole duty of man.”

So we say, So be it!  Amen
