Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.Psalm 25:5

When the believer has begun with trembling feet to walk in the way of the Lord, he asks to be still led onward like a little child upheld by its parent’s helping hand, and he craves to be further instructed in the alphabet of truth. Experimental teaching is the burden of this prayer. David knew much, but he felt his ignorance, and desired to be still in the Lord’s school: four times over in two verses he applies for a scholarship in the college of grace.

and comfort in trial. “On Thee do I wait all the day.” Patience is the fair
handmaid and daughter of faith; we cheerfully wait when we are certain
that we shall not wait in vain. It is our duty and our privilege to wait upon
the Lord in service, in worship, in expectancy, in trust all the days of our
life. Our faith will be tried faith, and if it be of the true kind, it will bear
continued trial without yielding. We shall not grow weary of waiting upon
God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
