Thoughts on today's verse:
When we follow someone, that generally implies that we know a little bit about the person that we are following, namely, what they want, and how they want it done. This is exactly what the psalmist is doing when he petitions God to teach him to do His will! When we make this petition, along with the psalmist, we must understand that this teaching will come from our reading of, interacting with, and submitting to the Bible, wherein is contained our instructions for life!
One author said that "Doing the will of God implies a complete submission to his will, as revealed in his word so that the deeds done in the flesh are acceptable to the Lord. Obedience here is an outgrowth of redemption, which itself is a work of God freely rendered to those who express faith in him. Obedience and sanctification grow out of a relationship of grace."
Then, when we are walking in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord, our path is found to be stable, where our spiritual feet can be firmly planted!
