At Sunday School class yesterday, we looked at Psalm 25. My Bible says it was written by David and the theme is "A prayer for defense, guidance, and pardon. As we trust in God, He grants these same requests for us."

As you can tell, not only do I like various Bible verses, I also enjoy the Bible commentaries on those various topics. They tend to read like today's newspaper.

"The Lord is good and glad to teach the proper path to all who go astray;

He will teach the ways that are right and best to those who humbly turn to Him.

And when we obey Him, every path He guides us on is fragrant with His lovingkindness and His truth."

~ Psalm 25:8 - 10 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "We are bombarded today with unlimited appeals to 'go my way'. TV advertising alone places hundreds of options before us, in addition to appeals made by political parties, cults, false religions, and dozens of other groups (and this was written before email, facebook, etc.). Numerous organizations including Christian organizations seek to motivate us to 'support the cause'. Add to the dozens of decisions we must make concerning our jobs, our families, our money, our society, and we become desperate for someone to show us the right way. If we find ourselves pulled in several directions, we need to remember the Lord 'will teach the ways that are right and best to those who humbly turn to Him' (verse 9)."
