Walking the path of righteousness
Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths, Psalm 25:4
Show me thy ways, O Lord — That is, the way or thy precepts, what I ought to do in my circumstances and difficulties; by what methods I may obtain thy favor and help. Whatsoever you do with me, as to other things, grant me this favor, teach me my duty, and cause me to keep close to it, notwithstanding all temptations to the contrary. Reader, art thou a traveler to heaven? Remember, then, thou art in danger of being drawn aside and losing thy way. The way is marked out in the word of God, and to walk according to that is to walk in the way. God only can put thee in the way, and preserve and forward thee therein, for which purpose continue instant in prayer, after the example of David, to the God of thy salvation, that he would teach thee to know and do his will.
