Psalm 25

This psalm speaks of the perseverance of living the godly life. The guidance of God. He instructs, guides, teaches... David's message is clear. This is how to live a godly life - by learning from God Himself.

David is surrounded by his enemies, yet his confidence is unmistakeable. He remembers that he has been a sinner, yet he knows his sins have been washed away. He knows what his life has been like. Still he knows that God will not put him to shame; that is God will not disappoint him.

This psalm reads like an overview of God's character. He is both good and upright. He cannot abide sin, yet He provides a way for justice to be done. Yet as Chrsitians we need to be constantly learning from Him -- especially through His word.
