SEEKING THE LORD EARNESTLY

Text: Psalm 25
14 September 2025

NOTHING IS TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED

David was but a shepherd boy when God identified him as the next king of Israel. God allowed him to experience severe difficulties in his life though he was destined to be the ruler of Israel. Through all the trials he had to endure, he learned valuable lessons!

4 Show me 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;

On You I wait all the day.     Psalm 25:4-5
