The Path of Your Commandments

One of the reasons that you and I come back to the Lord's table once a month, is to examine ourselves in relation to our obedience to God's commandments. Our becoming holy is our being taught by God to put into application in our lives, all that He has commanded us; having Christ as our Savior and helper. God saves us through Christ, and then we enter upon a walk of faith; upon the path of righteousness, in which God Himself leads us and teaches us, as verse 35 says – "to walk in the path of His commandments". In order to make progress in our obedience to God, we as Christians must learn to pray that the Holy Spirit would teach us and help us day by day to be spiritually-minded. What does it mean for one who knows God, through Jesus Christ, to be spiritually-minded? That is the question that I would have us to think about at this hour. I am hoping the you will come to see from these verses that it means that we learn to pray, and to promise, and to declare certain things to God. I find 4 of them in our text.
