In this Psalm David prays, “Make me know Thy ways O Lord. Teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy Truth and teach me.” When one trusts in God as did King David, God will teach him or her how to live. God will then teach them right from wrong, truth from falsehood, good from bad. God’s Holy Spirit will guide believers along the path that leads to Heaven.
The path that leads to Heaven is unique in that it is not the path that the world would choose for us. Worldly values appeal to the sinful side of mankind. Worldly values will lead us on a path to Hell. These values appeal to the “flesh.” Whereas, God’s values appeal to our spirit.
Living according to God’s values will be difficult at times. Our sinful side will resist them. However, the Bible says that living according to God’s values will provide significant benefits, in our lives.
Those who live according to God’s values will be successful. They will be content and have much joy in their lives. Trusting in God will remove life’s anxieties. More importantly, trusting in God will lead one to Heaven.
