Teach Me Your Ways

David didn't ask God to do everything for him. He asked God to teach him. To show him the way so he could walk it. There's a beautiful difference in this prayer — it's not a request for passivity, it's a request to learn.

Every morning is a new day of learning with God. The situations that will come up today, the people you'll meet, the decisions that will need to be made — each one is a classroom. And the Teacher is present.

But learning requires humility. The willingness to say, "I don't know everything. I need to be taught." That goes against our natural tendency to assume we already know, already decided, already mapped it out.

Bringing that open heart to the morning — "teach me" — is one of the wisest things you can do. Because whoever is willing to be taught by God rarely stays lost for long.
