“Teach Us How We Should Walk”
 
 
 
cause me to hear you
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
Have you ever at the end of your day wished that you could go back and do it over again?   Perhaps you spoke words you wished you would have not.   Maybe you realize that there was a particular time in your day that you were not in God’s wisdom but in your own thinking.   Truth is we have all probably thought this and we all have had those days. But the real truth of the matter is that we cannot make a day happen all over again.
 
When we wake in the morning we need to consciously make an effort to remind ourselves that God’s mercies are new and fresh every morning! He awaits for you to seek His face and bring everything to Him that concerns your heart. There is not a one of us that were created to carry the burdens this life brings to us.  God greets us each morning with His mercies and our day is a fresh clean slate for Him to write upon with His works in our lives.

 

 

Psalm 143:8 The Voice
 
 Make me hear of Your faithful love in the
morning, for I trust in You. Teach me how I should walk, for I offer my soul up to
You.
 
 
 As we greet our day let us ask Him to cause us to hear that which He desires to speak to us. He is faithful to show us the right paths. He is faithful to make the crooked places straight. It is as we lift our souls to Him that He will begin to speak to us that which we need to hear to meet the challenges of our day.
 
 
I once heard this quote and I love it.   “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” How true these few words are. We can use problems or difficulties that arise in our day as an opportunity to grow or we can allow them to bring us down.  We have so much power in the choices we make.  Let us choose each day to greet Him with a willingness to hear of His faithful love.  Permit Him to teach you today how you should walk and turn any difficulties into divine opportunities for Him!
