King David was a prolific writer. Poems, songs, prayers–the man could put the right words on the page. Of course, it helps to be inspired by the Spirit of the Living God.
Today’s reading took me to Psalm 25. David is heavy into the theme of DIRECTION for his life. He declares his trust in God, then pleads for direction: Show me the right path…point out the road for me to follow…lead me…
I don’t know about you, but I find myself at the point pretty often. Life can get crazy busy, and when I get busy, it’s only a short step into that little town I call ConfusionLand. You know the place–everything seems to be a high priority, and there’s neither time nor energy to do it all.
David points out that those who keep the Lord as priority numero uno (that means number 1, btw) can count on God’s leading. The Lord leads with his unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.
I am believing God for his direction. His path is always right, good, and better than any other. I want to have the discipline to stay in a right relationship with God so that I can hear his voice, so that I can follow his path.
So how do you hear from God?

usually the common denominator for me is focus. whatever that takes: a quiet place, making specific time, whatever.

For me, it’s often through music and nature.
