“Make me know Your ways, Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me” (Psalm 25:4-5).
Divine truth is not learned merely through human words, but through constant communion with Jesus Himself. Whether we are working, resting, or facing challenges, we can lift our hearts in prayer and ask the Lord to teach us directly from His throne of mercy. What we learn from Him is deeply engraved in the soul—nothing can erase what is written by His hands. Lessons from men may be forgotten, but what the Son of God teaches remains forever.
And it is by obeying the magnificent Law of God, the same splendid commandments that Jesus and His disciples faithfully followed, that we open our hearts to receive this living instruction. The Law of the Lord makes us sensitive to His voice and purifies the heart to understand the truth in all its purity. God reveals His secrets to the obedient, for they are the ones who seek to learn directly from the Divine Master.
The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Turn to Jesus in prayer today, ask Him to teach you Himself—and heavenly wisdom will fill your heart with light and understanding. Adapted from J.C. Philpot. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Lord Jesus, teach me to hear Your voice above all others. Open my eyes to see the truth as You reveal it and engrave Your eternal words upon my heart.
Deliver me from relying only on men and make me depend on You in everything. May Your Holy Spirit be my constant guide in every decision of life.
Oh, beloved Father, I thank You for granting me the privilege of learning from Your Son. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the living book of Your wisdom. Your commandments are letters of light that remain engraved in my soul. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
