“[1] To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.[2] O my God, in you I trust;do not let me be put to shame;do not let my enemies exult over me. [4] Make me to know your ways, O Lord;teach me your paths.[5] Lead me in your truth, and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation;for you I wait all day long. [10] All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.[11] For your name's sake, O Lord,pardon my guilt, for it is great.[12] Who are they that fear the Lord?He will teach them the way that they should choose.[13] They will abide in prosperity,and their children shall possess the land.[14] The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,and he makes his covenant known to them. [21] May integrity and uprightness preserve me,for I wait for you.” (From Psalm 25, NRSV)

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26, NIV)

“Softening Your Heart” By In Touch Ministries: “When you trust God, there's no limit to what He can do through your life.”

“When we continually spend time with God in His Word, His presence will saturate our heart, making us sensitive and teachable. But just as a human relationship can grow cold unless we intentionally nurture it, the heart can gradually harden when we aren’t seeking intimacy with God. For our heart to stay soft and receptive, we must obediently—and promptly—respond to whatever the Lord tells us to do.

If you believe that God might be leading you in a certain direction, take the time to earnestly seek His mind on the matter and intentionally listen for His response. Then avoid getting busy with a substitute for what He originally called you to do. It would be tragic to work hard doing what you and others consider good, only to discover that you accomplished something that was not God’s intention.

Resisting the Lord often amounts to setting His purposes for your life on a shelf. And that will likely leave you feeling something is missing. There’s no substitute for God’s will, even when His plan might seem difficult or impossible. But when you trustfully approach God with a cooperative heart, there’s no limit to what He can accomplish through your life. So, step out in obedience today and say, “Lord, I want Your will—no matter what.”

To You I Lift Up My Soul

1 [A Psalm] of David.

א

Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

ב

2 O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

ג

3 Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; They shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

ד

4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.

הו

5 Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; For Thou art the God of my salvation; For Thee do I wait all the day.

ז

6 Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; For they have been from of old.

ח

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Thy mercy remember Thou me, For Thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

ט

8 Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

י

9 He guideth The humble in justice; And He teacheth the humble His way.

כ

10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth Unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

ל

11 For Thy name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

מ

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

נ

13 His soul shall abide in prosperity; And his seed shall inherit the land.

ס

14 The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; And His covenant, to make them know it.

ע

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; For He will bring forth my feet out of the net.

פ

16 Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; For I am solitary and afflicted.

צ

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

ר

18 See mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider how many are mine enemies, And the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.

ש

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.

ת

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, Because I wait for Thee.

PSALM 25:14-20

"14 Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence Him. With them alone He shares the secrets of His promises. 15 My eyes are ever looking to the Lord for help, for He alone can rescue me. 16 Come, Lord, and show me your mercy, for I am helpless, overwhelmed, in deep distress; 17 my problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! 18 See my sorrows; feel my pain; forgive my sins. 19 See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! 20 Save me from them! Deliver my life from their power! Oh, let it never be said that I trusted you in vain!"

Commentary on Psalm 25

[afaroffsong]

Good and upright is the Lord;

Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

He leads the humble in justice,

And He teaches the humble His way.

All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth

To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

Who is the man who fears the Lord?

He will instruct him in the way he should choose.

The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,

And He will make them know His covenant.

My eyes are continually toward the Lord,

For He will pluck my feet out of the net.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25‬:‭8‬-‭10‬, ‭12‬, ‭14‬-‭15‬

Psalm 27:1 KJV

La amistad de Dios para los que le honran

“El SEÑOR brinda su amistad a quienes le honran, y les da a conocer su pacto.” (Salmo 25:14).

Dios nos ofrece una relación profunda y especial con Él cuando le honramos y obedecemos. Este versículo nos recuerda que el Señor se revela íntimamente a quienes buscan Su presencia, dándoles a conocer Su pacto y propósito. Al vivir con reverencia hacia Dios, no solo recibimos Su amistad, sino que también somos guiados y fortalecidos por Sus promesas. Honrar a Dios abre la puerta a una vida de comunión y entendimiento profundo de Su voluntad.
