Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Application: 

In Psalm 143:7–10, David wants to experience the faithful love of God so that he might understand the way [he] should go for protection from his enemies (143:8–9). In addition, David wanted to walk in God’s ways. He prays, Teach me to do your will (143:10). It wasn’t enough to be saved from his troubles. David wants fellowship with God and His direction and guidance as he obeys His commands.*

Psalm 143:10 is a profound verse that reflects the desire for guidance and alignment with divine will. This prayerful appeal captures the essence of seeking wisdom and direction in life.

The Importance of Divine Guidance

Throughout our lives, we often encounter challenges that require insight and clarity. Turning to scripture, as in Psalm 143:10, provides the solace that comes from trusting in a higher power. Acknowledging the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as our guide can instill a sense of purpose, reminding us to align our actions with His moral values and with integrity.

As we strive to embody the message of this psalm, it is vital to ask ourselves how we can implement these teachings in our daily lives. Embracing God’s Holy Spirit leads us in the land of uprightness (Psalm 23:1-3), encouraging us to make decisions driven by compassion and righteousness. Reflecting on this passage helps us cultivate a mindset open to receiving guidance, making it easier to navigate our paths with confidence.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is our example. When He was here with us, he taught us to pray, Father, Your will be done, not my will (Luke 22:42).
