Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior. Psalm 25:6a
The Lord’s ways are mercy, compassion, justice, and kindness. May I empty myself of resentment, indifference, selfishness, and arrogance and let God’s goodness and love be my guide and teacher.
Today I will release anything that prevents me from having the heart, mind, and attitude of Christ.
Amen. Jesus brought a brand new way of thought, of living. No one in those times had ever heard the preaching of forgiveness and mercy and loving in just the way Jesus did. I have difficulty imagining how revolutionary this was to the people of that day.
