• Teach Me Thy Way
• The Art And Attitude Of Receiving God’s Instructions

• Points to be made
• Some people refuse to receive teaching.
• Some people do not like what they are taught, so they reject such teaching.
• Some complain that the instructions are too hard to keep.
• But there are benefits to receiving instruction from the LORD.

• Ps 143:10 Teach me to do Thy will; for thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
• This is the right attitude.
• Because it is God who should speak.
• Because following God’s word produces uprightness.

• Ps 25:4 Shew me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
• We should ask God to speak to us.
• He does.
• God speaks through His word.

• Notice what method God uses to teach us.
• Ps 119:12 Blessed art Thou, O LORD: teach me Thy statutes.
• Ps 119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed Thy commandments.
• Deuteronomy 4:10 “Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
• God commanded all men and women to obey Him.
This was how God taught them.

• Deuteronomy 4:14 “And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.”
• Deuteronomy 5:31 “But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.”
• God taught Israel how to behave in the promised land.

• Exodus 24:12 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.”
• God’s words are meant to teach people.
• There is a purpose in God’s words.
• Giving Moses the stone tablets, a law and commandments would be useless if Moses did not teach the people these instructions.

• Deuteronomy 31:19 “Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.”
• Psalm 119:64 “The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.”
• Psalm 119:33 “Teach me, O LORD, the way of Thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.”
• Job 6:24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.”

Job 34:32 “That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.”
• Psalm 25:5 “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 27:11 “Teach me Thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.”

• Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
• Psalm 86:11 “Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name.
• Psalm 119:26 “I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me: teach me Thy statutes.”

• Psalm 119:108 “Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Thy judgments.”
• Psalm 119:68 “Thou art good, and doest good; teach me Thy statutes.”
• Psalm 119:124 “Deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy, and teach me Thy statutes.”
• Psalm 119:135 “Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; and teach me Thy statutes.”

• 2Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
• Hebrews 8:11 “And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.”

• What is to be taught?
• God’s ways
• God’s paths
• God’s statutes
• God’s judgments
• God’s commands
• His will,
• His laws,
• His commandments.

• The result of this teaching.
• That we might have good judgment and good knowledge.
• That we might know the LORD and the strength of His might, and power of His words.
• That we may stand before God in righteousness.

• Conclusion
• God has taught us His ways, laws, commandments, judgments, testimonies, will, precepts, ordinances, rules.
• Are we allowing God to teach us?
• Now, what are you going to do with what you have been taught?
