June 18: He Will Teach You the Way to Choose

Scripture:
“Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He teaches sinners in the way.”
— Psalm 25:8 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s goodness motivates His patient teaching.
  2. God instructs even those who have fallen into sin.
  3. His way is always the right way, full of mercy.
  4. No one is beyond learning if they turn to Him.
  5. God delights in restoring and teaching broken hearts.

Poem: Taught by Grace

Your goodness finds me in my failure.
Your kindness bends to where I fell.
You do not shame the trembling heart.
You lift my face toward your truth.
You teach me the way to walk.

You see the roads I should not take.
You shine your light down better streets.
You mark the dangers with your Word.
You call out before I drift too far.
You teach me before I am lost.

Your lessons fall like early rain.
Softly soaking stubborn soil.
Breaking the crust of old pride.
Planting seeds of living hope.
Teaching me what freedom feels like.

I do not know the way alone.
I cannot see past the next turn.
But you see the whole, the wide, the end.
You walk beside, not behind.
You teach by presence, not distance.

I kneel to listen today, my God.
I bow before your perfect wisdom.
You teach sinners how to sing.
You lead wanderers back to life.
You love enough to stay and teach.

Daily Prayer:
“Lord, teach me Your way today and guide me with Your goodness.”
