June 4: The Lord Will Teach You

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
— Psalm 32:8 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God is a personal instructor, not distant or cold.
  2. His guidance is intimate — He sees what we miss.
  3. Teaching involves patience — God walks with us.
  4. God’s view is wider and clearer than ours.
  5. Trusting His eyes means surrendering our own plans.

Taught by His Eyes

You see where I will stumble
before the stone even lifts
you hold my name in your sight
you teach me to lift my chin
and see the sky of your promises

Lessons fall soft as rain
they soak into the cracks of my heart
your wisdom grows from the roots
and soon I walk lighter than before
surer of the ground you bless

Your gaze speaks louder than words
a thousand silent mercies
that call me away from wrong roads
and build a better way within me
a road paved with your peace

I turn my face toward your eyes
and find the way I could not make
each step crafted by your kindness
each mile filled with your strength
each pause crowned with your patience

You are the map and the light
you are the river and the song
you are the whisper on the path
you are the teacher of my soul
I follow the glance of your love
