Psalm 143:10 "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground."
2 Corinthians 5: 9 "So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it."
Romans 8: 14 "because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
A very important desire of the believer is to know and obey God's will. After all, Yeshua, our Lord and example (John 4: 34, Matthew 10: 25, 1 Peter 2: 21) made it his daily bread to know and perform God's will. It is therefore imperative that the believer do the same.
It is notable that the psalmist recognized that the will of God must be taught. His prayer was for God to teach him, the psalmist also recognized that the Holy Spirit was the Leader, and most importantly, the psalmist realized that this was his privilege or right as a worshiper... this is displayed in his declaration... "for you are my God".
My goal as well, as the psalmist and apostle Paul made plain is to please God at all times. Help me Father to know Your will and to perform it, lead me by Your Spirit according to Your word, in Jesus name, amen.
