“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).

What an amazing phrase is “Lead me in Thy truth.” I am not a Hebrew scholar, but I know the word for “lead” is darak which means “to tread, to march onward.” I think that I have probably told you before, but I met my wife in the third grade. I liked her from the day I met her. (She didn’t like me, but I digress!) Then the day came when we Cub Scouts were going to march in the Oakfield, New York, Memorial Day celebrations. The path of the parade took us directly past Karen’s home. I was so proud in my Cub Scout uniform and to think that I was going to march right in front of her house! As we approached, to my joy and delight, Karen and her parents were out on their side yard watching the parade. Several rows from the front, on the side closest to Karen’s yard, I proudly marched as I approached her. I can remember it like it was yesterday! As I marched in front of her, I caught her eye and smiled at her. She smiled back and…well, let me finish what happened next in tomorrow’s Daily Prescription! Be sure to come back, and you will see why I can remember it like it was yesterday.

For today: What a wonderful blessing it is to ask the Lord to “lead me in Thy truth.” You’ll be glad that you did.
