Our Worship - Worthy Teacher

  1. A Psalm of David
    • Three needs: Help, Forgiveness, Guidance
  2. Three needs in Psalm 24
  3. Life without guidance...?
    • Guidance matters
  4. God: our good Teacher
    • Good and upright is the Lord
  5. Making this practical
    • Psalm 25 tells us
      • We should be encouraged
      • Our ability to receive God's guidance is mostly a matter of attitude
    • Attitude
      • Desire - we have to want instruction
      • Trust and commitment - God teaches those who belong to Him and who believe He can help
      • Humility - God guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way
      • Obedience - the ones who find God's ways loving and faithful are those who keep the demands of His covenant
    • Ways God guides
      • Reading and studying Scripture - This is the most basic source, and it's essential
      • Prayer - We immediately think of prayer as "us speaking to God." Mature prayer is engaging God in conversation
      • Other believers - The Spirit of God lives in all His people.
      • The inner voice of the Holy Spirit
      • Reminders that fit the moment
