Who, then, are those who fear the Lord? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

Psalm 25:1-22
No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shamebut shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember mefor you, Lord, are good.
Good and upright is the Lordtherefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
Who, then, are those who fear the LordHe will instruct them in the ways they should choose. They will spend their days in prosperity,   and their descendants will inherit the land.
May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in youDeliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
This is an acrostic -alphabet-psalm. The psalmist is harassed by the incessant attack of his enemies and disquieted in his own conscience. Deeply aware of his need, he turns to God for help and guidance, asking to experience again his love and forgiveness.
Why?
God is love. Those who fear the Lord, He will instruct them in the way they should choose.
Pary to the Lord when we fear or distress, God is my strength and my hope, and my way.
God will show his way to me.

大衛在遇見苦難中,求神用他的話引導他:方法都是等待。不是求神將苦難挪去,或是快快過去。求明白主的道,引導,神的話,就是與神同在。神的帶領,神讓我們冒險,精彩無比。
苦難中反省自己是否有得罪神的地方:真理光照人心中的黑暗。憐憫、慈愛、恩惠表明神的屬性。相信神一定指引他走正確的路。苦難是化妝的祝福,讓我們不驕傲,更謙卑。這比其他更有福。
尼布甲尼撒王,放逐七年,似乎受苦,後來認識神,悔改歸向主也是祝福
誰敬畏耶和華,神必指示他當選擇的道路。與神親密比指示更好。確信神在苦難中指示他的道路。約伯在苦難中一直要知道為什麼?神讓約伯看見神的偉大,顯出自己的渺小,無知、愚昧
信心的禱告有四方面的祈求,憐恤、查看、赦免過犯,純全正直保守我

How?
May integrity and uprightness protect me. because my hope is in you, O Lord!
