"Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness."
Psalms 143:10
This verse stood out to me today because it emphasizes the importance of getting God's help in learning to be good. We don't always do very well at that on our own... we tend to get pretty off track, giving in to our own biases and letting little things irritate us and make us surly.
Today, let's turn to God who is the source of goodness, and who can teach us the way of love and kindness, even if we have never really learned it before, or are really bad at it just now. Let's take the time to pray, to read, to invite His spirit into our lives. He can help us to be calm and to know how to deal with others in a positive way if we reach out to him and are willing to take his advice and follow his promptings.
