"Teach me"

Holy, Holy God,

Thank You that we get to come to You. Thank You for who and all You are. Thank You that You are good. And I love you.

♪You are good Your are good When there’s nothing good in me…♪

Again I say thank You God! Thank You for the opportunity to compare the texts of various Bibles. Thank You that in reading of Your goodness (Psalm 119:65) I find only two that say, “Teach me” differently.

The Message uses “train me in Your goodness” while The Living Bible says, “make me follow Your lead.” Oh most good and holy God, how deeply I long to follow Your lead to goodness.

There are so many things wrong with my thinking. “O LORD, the earth is full of Your unfailing love; teach me Your principles. You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as You promised. I believe in Your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge. I used to wander off until You disciplined me; but now I closely follow Your Word. You are good and do only good; teach me Your principles” (Palm 119:64-68).

Oh yes Dearest God. Teach me Your principles! Other renditions say: Your statutes, laws, demands [ordinances, requirements], commands, orders, decrees. The Passion Translation says it all quite eloquently.

“Give me more revelation of Your ways, for I see Your love and tender care everywhere. My True Treasure Your extravagant kindness to me makes me want to follow Your words even more! Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in Your commands. Before I was humbled I used to wander astray, but now I see the wisdom of Your words. Everything You do is beautiful, flowing from Your goodness; teach me the power of Your wonderful words!”

Oh yes Blessed God. Teach me to make good decisions by the power of Your wonderful words!

This is NOT what I had planned to speak with You about today. Perhaps tomorrow we can delve into developing health interdependent relationships? I love You Father.

Thank You for providing me the very easy find to the song we sang in church on Sunday. ♪You are good You are good When there’s nothing good in me You are love, You are love On display for all to see You are light, You are light (1 John 1:5) When the darkness closes in You are hope, You are hope You have covered all my sin You are peace, You are peace When my fear is crippling You are true, You are true Even in my wandering You are joy, You are joy You’re the reason that I sing You are life, You are life In You death has lost its sting…♪

Dearest Lord, the more I sing the greater my desire for You grows. ♪I’m running to Your arms I’m running to Your arms The riches of Your love Will always be enough Nothing compares To Your embrace Light of the world Forever Reign You are more, You are more Than my words will ever say You are Lord, You are Lord All creation will proclaim You are here, You are here In Your presence I’m made whole You are God, You are God Of all else I’m letting go My heart will sing No other name Jesus, Jesus♪

Mm yes! ♪Jesus, Jesus♪ My heart cries out to You Dearest Lord, “Teach me.” I love You. Amen.
