Psalm 25:5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day. I. ILLUSTRATE THE SPIRIT AND MEANING OF THIS VERSE. 1. It does not mean that David was incessantly occupied with religious exercises. 2. The words are quite consistent with a knowledge of many transgressions. 3. The words involve a figurative meaning. This "waiting" is the spirit of trust, of loving obedience, of hope and confidence, of a most intimate friendship, of the deepest reverence. II. IN WHAT WAY WOULD A DAY BE SPENT BY ONE WHO SINCERELY UTTERED THESE WORDS? 1. The day would be begun with God. 2. One who has begun the day with God will remember His presence, and seek His favour through the day. What is wanted of all of us is to carry the habit of religion into our ordinary pursuits. (W. G. Barrett.) Parallel Verses KJV: Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. |
