‘How long will you assail a man, that you may murder him, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; they delight in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse.” (Psalm 62:3-4)
Be not like the ones who outwardly show a seeming conformity to the ways of God, but inwardly are as far away from Him as the ones who outwardly deny the Lord. Do not be led by the way of man, for it goes nowhere, but be led by the truth of the Lord, for He is truth. In Him is life, for He is the creator of life. Seek His counsel and learn the ways of the Lord that you may live now and forever.
Lord, there is so much falsehood all around. The world offers so many options, but they lead nowhere. Guide me in Your Spirit to see the truth You are and have revealed for those who seek after You. Let me inwardly praise You and seek to live my life according to Your eternal principles. Help me, O Lord, to live the way You would have me live now and forever.
Lord Jesus, You have come to save all those who through You, turning to You and following You, seek the true life. You are life. You are the way and apart from You no one can go where You lead. Help me now and always to see this simple truth and from the inside out be conformed to what You have established through faith. Guide me today, Lord Jesus, and help me go where You would have me go. Amen.
