About this sermon

Psalm 25:4-Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. If we are to discern what direction the Lord is leading us, then we need to be shown and taught which way to go. This requires us to have a teachable attitude. Four words that will change your relationship with Jesus are, “Shew me!” and “Teach me!” When your back is against the wall and you feel hopeless, confused, and scared, it will not be difficult for you to cry out to the Lord, “Shew me thy ways.” When you are confused by chaotic circumstances, make it a point to tell the Lord, “Shew me thy ways.” Shew me Lord, shew me! The words “shew me” are from the word yada` {yaw-dah'}. It means “make me to know by experience; to discern, recognize, understand, consider, to be acquainted with.” If you are going to know or understand anything, it ought to be God’s way. The ways of God should be a part of our lives. We should be experiencing His ways because that is the way we are to live. David asked the Lord to help him to know His ways. He needed the Lord’s help. David said, "Shew me thy ways, O Lord." When you peruse through the Scriptures, the phrase "shew me" pops up a number of times. The situations in which the phrase surfaces reveal the same desires people have today. We examine the examples where “Shew me” are used and the lessons taught by the verses. This message was preached on Sunday night, March 31, 2024, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
