Thank you and the Holy Spirit who enabled you to decipher the teaching of Psalm 25. I would like to share this very important teaching with a friend but do not know how. Is it possible to add somewhere ‘share with a friend’ link to future devotional? Thanks and God bless you.

At times, it may be difficult to wait and learn at the same time. Yet God, in His teachings, does lead us onto the paths of learning. I have learned to wait; and while doing so, have strengthen my Faith.

THis was a very interesting Psalm to read on Ash Wed – I left very early yesterday and returned very late so I’m just now reading and praying (better late than never) I sat at a friends funeral at 2:00 yesterday in a packed church. THe peace and calm of her life followered her to the celebration of her life. The Celtic music was waiting music. ” You leasd humble people to do what is right and to stay on your path” verse 9 of the Psalm was the story of her life. AMEN

Dear Jim,
It ‘s so true what you (&David of course) have said. In my few decades in encountering Jesus, I am changed (i.e.have learnt) much more in the difficult waiting times than in the exciting, busy, serving times.
My wife, my two daughters, & I have had a chronic illness for several years yet I’ve seen the other three become more compassionate, wise, self-giving through this trial -& I hope by the grace of God I have become more Jesus-like also. I know many of my thought patterns & prejudices have “received treatment”.

in a time where immediate gratification is the part of the Zeitgeist, I find the chronicles of Gods work stretching over generations, amazing. I need the reminder to beware of shortcuts that can have long lasting consequences. I am wondering if investing money rather than working for it might be one of these shortcuts.????

In our times of instant gratification – cell phones, fast foods, internet, etc – waiting is not something that comes easy to us. Perhaps we, in this time of instant everything, need to reflect on that psalm the most. Thank you for bringing that sense of waiting and longing to us early in Lent so we can reflect on it often.

After Ash Wednesday’s focus on repentance, this reflection on teaching, learning and waiting is helpful. It lends a pathway to the six weeks of Lent. If we are to repent (turn), this psalm and today’s reflection offer gudiance on how to approach that turning. Thank you.
