S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #15 February 15, 2024 “Growing Closer to God.”
S. Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”
O. David prays for at least 3 things in the these first few verses – because of his hope and dependance upon God. He asks the Lord to show him, teach him and guide him. He asked God to show him God’s way. God has a way for us to live and David wanted to see that.
He asked God to teach Him God’s path. God has a direction in life for us and David wanted to know that direction. He asked God to guide him in truth. He wanted to know the truth of God – perhaps greater revelation of who God is. I believe David was desiring to grow closer to God – he wanted to deepen that relationship.
A. This is my desire – to be a lifelong learner and grow closer to God. What a great prayer – show me, teach me, and guide me. To pray like that, I think, illustrates a heart that beats for God and truly desires a closer, and more intimate walk with Him.
P. Thank you Lord for this word today. I want a closer and more intimate walk with you. I want to grow closer to you. Yes, Lord – show me, teach me and guide me. In Jesus’ name.
