"Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God" (Psalm 143:1010Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. (Psalm 143:10)). Surely the words of Theodore Monad apply with force in our day: "Ask yonder sun, What art thou doing? and he will answer, The will of God; those waves of ocean, and they will answer, The will of God; tiny flower, drinking in the dew, What art thou doing? and it will answer, The will of God."
But man, highest of God's creation, What art thou doing? Is not the answer this? "What I choose; I please myself; I do as I will, and assert my independence of God as though He were not." "Show me Thy ways, 0 LORD; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation." Psalm 25:4, 54Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. (Psalm 25:4‑5).
