Psalm 143:10 

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

 1- The request –  “Teach me to do your will,”- Isn’t that basically what we all want and need from God? It’s a direct request to God that he will honor. 

2- The praise – “for you are my God!” – I love this declaration of worship and respect to God. 

3 – Continued praise and doubling down on the request – “Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!” – This gives me a visual for “Your will be done” – David invites God to lead him. He humbly admits that he can’t walk through life on his own. He needs the one and only mighty God to walk with him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Luke 10:38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with [q]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

No matter how busy you think you are, there is only one thing you must do on any given day – grow closer to God. Even if a man gained the whole world but forfeit his soul, he has gained nothing. Grow first thing in the day and then again throughout the day because only one thing is necessary. Give the rest of your life the leftovers.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m thrilled that Shamrock is launching ShieldLock groups.  Behind your wife and kids, these close relationships with men are the most important relationships that you’ll have.  Your SL offers so many benefits – one is perspective.  They can watch your six and alert you to hazards that you can’t even see.

MOLESKIN:

Prayers for Mermaid’s wife’s aunt, Joy.  Prayers for all the kids and teachers doing standardized testing this week.  Prayers for Anchorman and his family as he returns home from a mission trip.
