Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. Psalm 25:12.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
When the Pharisees rejected Jesus’ teaching and conspired against Jesus as to how they might destroy Him, He withdrew from there, but many followed Him and He healed them all. Matthew 12:15. They came to hear and be healed. Luke 5:15.
They followed Him. No follower of His will ever walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life. John 8:12. Why? He teaches you to profit and the way you should go. How? By My Word. My Word is a light to your path and a lamp to your feet. Psalm 119:105.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32.
The truth sets your spirit free and makes your soul prosper and then your whole body prospers.
Beloved, I earnestly desire that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. 3 John 1:2-4.
What really matters? That you follow Me by the Word and the leading of the Spirit.
How are you led by the Spirit? As My child, a child is humble and the humble are teachable.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14.
There is one thing necessary for all things that make your life free and fruitful unto life eternal: Come to Me and learn from Me by listening to My Word.
At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30.
Come to Me and listen and I will instruct you in the way you should choose. Psalm 25:12. I will pluck your feet from the snare. Psalm 25:15.
Let us go to an incident in the life of Jesus that I include in the Bible for you to learn what really matters. It is the account of a visit of Jesus to the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus.
Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38-42.
In this short passage Jesus, My Word made flesh who is your Teacher of My Word, tells you the one thing necessary in all the busyness of life, for the preparations can distract you from the one thing necessary for all things that follow, for without the foundation the house you so busily build will not stand in any storm or shaking. Jesus told Martha what really matters to be successful in every matter: Mary came and sat at His feet and listened to His teaching of My Word.
I want to teach you. I teach you how to profit and the way you should go.
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your well-being would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:17-18.
I want you to know the truth and be set free. I want to teach you what really matters. Come to Me and learn from Me and your souls will prosper by walking in the truth and that will bring you into My rest, that is, a life of no stress even in the face of opposition. I set the table of instruction, the table of My Word, before you to feast upon. You must feed on My Word to be strong and to know the way to go. And this will produce fruit in your life, fruit that remains.
Now let us go to Psalm 25 written by My Spirit through My faithful servant David.
He begins as you should: “To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust.” Psalm 25:1-2. Know to whom you are looking and why you are looking there: to Me in trust and as you look at Me it lifts you up out of the words of the world, which are tending to death, to the words that are spirit and life.
And he continues: Make me know Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day. Psalm 25:4-5. He wants Me to teach him and lead him in right paths, My paths for his life for in them lies his salvation. And I have answered that prayer, I sent you My Word made flesh as your Teacher and your Salvation for He is the only way to Me. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He will show you the path to life, fullness of joy in My presence and the delights at My right hand forever. Psalm 16:11.
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. For Your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Psalm 25:8-11.
I can teach the humble to follow My paths of lovingkindness and truth. And for My Name’s sake I pardon all your sins in Jesus and remember them no more. For He took your sins and gave you My righteousness.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? [The fear of the LORD is to hate evil, the fear of the LORD is to desire to please Me no matter where you are] He will instruct him in the way [the way, the truth and the life] he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. 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. Psalm 25:12-15.
Keep your eyes on Jesus to run your race with no encumbrance. I keep your feet out of the snare.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. Psalm 91:2-3.
I will instruct you in the way you should choose. In Jesus I have given you wisdom. His wisdom. I have given you the mind of Christ. And I sent your Teacher to dwell among you and in Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Although the Lord (Adonai) has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:20-21.
I told Abraham to walk before Me and be blameless for I will direct your steps.
You have many I send to you as apostles, evangelists and teachers but you all only have one teacher and all are learners and THE Teacher is My Son for He is My Word living and working among you to purify you from you sins and reconcile you as one with Me.
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:1-3.
I sent Him as the good Shepherd to feed people My Word in teaching, signs and wonders, for you were all wandering like sheep with no shepherd. But now you do not need to wander anymore you have Him as your Teacher, Shepherd, Savior, Redeemer, and great High Priest. He is the door to My Kingdom and it is an open door to you who believe and receive. And now as I sent Him so He sends you! Draw close and learn how to think, how to talk, and what to do. He is one with you and you with Him. Draw on that Oneness. You have nothing to fear.
