Psalm 86:11-13…“Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name.” vs. 11
The psalmist was aware that there was a way to live and that it was connected to God’s truth. The trick was to figure out exactly what that truth was. Indeed, that’s been the mystery of the ages, and humans have concocted a multitude of religions that purport to shine light on that path. Even now there are millions of people scrambling from one influencer to another in an effort to discover a reliable way to choose among the options.
Of course we’re not the first to struggle with finding our way in the world. That was one of the big questions that the disciples posed to Jesus. His answer, recorded by the gospel writer, John, was quite concise. He said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light. No one comes to the Father except by me.” Evidently that answer was satisfying to the disciples because it wasn’t long after the resurrection that people began referring to the followers of Jesus as people of the Way.
And that’s still a good answer! It’s uncomplicated and a great guide to the joys of the Kingdom. To walk with an undivided heart in the Way of Jesus in all of its gentleness and humility is the best way to know peace and serenity in our daily living.
