Teach me, God, to do your will

Greetings:
To grow spiritually, we have to be teachable.
Psalm 143:10 is an uplifting verse that is actually a desperate cry for help.
In The Amplified Bible, it reads, “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; let your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness.”
“Teach me to do your will” – that seems so simple, but it is a difficult thing to do.
How childlike - "Teach me"!
How practical - "Teach me to do"!
How undivided in obedience -- "To do your will."
When our heart can sincerely call Jehovah "my God", then understanding is ready to learn of Him, the will is prepared to obey Him and the whole man is eager to please Him.
God is all spirit and all good. His essence is goodness, kindness, holiness. It is His nature to do well.
Learning to do anything new is often difficult. I remember learning to ride my bicycle for the first time. It was hard, and so was the ground that I often fell on when the training wheels were removed.
However, the reward was good.
On those days that aren't so great, God has a new bike ready for us to learn how to ride.
Psalm 143 is a cry for help.  David is desperate for God to rescue him.  And in the middle of all his cries for help, David asks God, “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.” 
David knows God is in control, and the best way to learn His will is to go through and not around the storm.
Are you ready for God to use any circumstance in your life to teach you to do His will?  Today choose to see difficulties as opportunities to learn how to obey the will of God.
Let us all cry out this morning, "Teach me, God, to do your will!"
Be blessed.
