The walk or the way of life of an individual is determined by choices and defined by decisions. Every choice has a consequence: good choices produce beneficial results; wrong choices lead to harmful experiences.
God’s Word sets before everyone two ways: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked; God’s way or my way; God and others or Sin and self; blessing or curse; life or death. Every day forks confront everyone. Every fork determines the kind of life he enjoys, or messes up.
“Teach me your way, O Lord, for I trust in you.” The Holy Spirit is The Teacher whom Jesus sends to teach the blessed way. “Teach” means not only to impart the knowledge of the good and bad choice but more importantly to give the power to choose the right way.
The first thing He teaches me is that I am a sinner that cannot choose the good way. Then He teaches forgiveness of sins on account of Christ. Then He teaches the wise choice and gives the ability choose it.
He teaches me to say, “Lord, remember not my sins; according to your mercy remember me.” Trust the good Shepherd: He knows the good Way. The Enemy loses again.
