John Gill Bible Commentary
Teach me to do thy will,.... Revealed in the word; which saints desire a greater knowledge of in order to do it, and in which they delight; and also are desirous of being taught, and to practise submission to the will of God under afflictions; which was now the case of the psalmist; for thou art my God; his covenant God; and from whom all his afflictions came in a covenant way, and therefore desires to be instructed by him in them; see Jer 31:18; thy Spirit is good; thy holy good Spirit, as the Targum; the Spirit of thy holiness, as the Arabic version: the Holy Spirit of God is meant, the third Person in the Trinity; who is "good" essentially, being of the same nature and essence with the Father and Son, with God, who is only good; and effectively is the author of the good work of grace upon the heart, and of the several particular graces there implanted, and who performs many good offices to the saints; lead me into the land of uprightness; or, "let thy good Spirit lead me into the land of uprightness" (z): either into a right land, as the Targum, where honesty prevails, and honest and upright men live; or, "through a plain way" (a), easy to be found, in which he should not err, and where would be no occasion of stumbling; or, "through the way of life", as the Syriac version; the way to eternal life, to heaven and happiness; the land where only truly righteous and upright persons dwell: such will be the new heavens and the new earth, as well as the ultimate state of glory, Pe2 3:13; and to this the Spirit of God is the leader and guide of his people, Psa 48:14. (z) So the Tigurine version, Musculus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius. (a) "per terram planam", Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

By Bill McLeod2.2K48:00Waiting2SA 5:23PSA 143:8PSA 143:10ACT 16:91CO 6:171PE 2:211PE 2:23In this sermon, the speaker discusses the story of David and his battle with the Philistines.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking God's guidance and not relying on past methods. He also mentions how David's choice of five stones to face Goliath was strategic, as Goliath had four sons.

Five Evidences of Genuine Conversion
By Reuben Walter1.1K46:10Genuine ConversionPSA 25:5PSA 143:10LUK 12:8JHN 6:68ACT 4:33ROM 1:16HEB 10:25In this sermon, the preacher discusses five evidences of genuine conversion. He emphasizes that Christians should not skip over the first four evidences and focus only on the desire to tell others about Christ. The first evidence is not being ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as it is the power of God unto salvation. The second evidence is the transformation of lives, which is lacking in Christianity today. The preacher urges believers to examine themselves and ensure that they truly know Christ and are known by Him.
Psalm 119:5-6
By Brent Yim0PSA 25:4PSA 119:5PSA 119:11PSA 119:105PSA 143:10PRO 3:5Brent Yim emphasizes the importance of seeking divine guidance and assistance in obeying God's commandments, recognizing the inherent tendency of the human heart to wander and stray from the path of righteousness. Just as a ship needs a compass for a safe journey, believers must rely on God's counsel to navigate through life and reach the destination of eternal life without experiencing the devastation of a spiritual shipwreck. The psalmist's plea for God's direction serves as a model for believers to humbly seek God's help in following His statutes and avoiding the shame of disobedience.

Psalm 143

The Christian's Preservative
By James Smith0GEN 43:18NEH 5:15JOB 33:12PSA 143:10PRO 1:7PRO 9:10PRO 16:6ISA 38:16JER 32:401JN 4:18James Smith preaches about the importance of the fear of God as a preservative against apostasy, highlighting how believers throughout history have found it to be a preventative to many sins. The fear of God acts as a watchman, guarding against temptations and sounding an alarm when evil approaches. A filial fear of God stems from a spiritual knowledge of Him as our Father, leading to a desire to please Him in all things and a deep longing to rest in His love. This fear not only causes believers to depart from evil for their own sake but also out of a desire to honor and glorify God in all they do.
How Does Jesus Do It?
By Richard E. Bieber0PSA 143:10MAT 16:24MAT 24:9MAT 24:12MAT 24:14Richard E. Bieber emphasizes the importance of following Jesus' example of simple obedience and submission to God's will. He contrasts the clutter and complexities of modern interpretations of a 'Spirit-filled life' with the straightforward obedience that Jesus required from his disciples. The sermon highlights the need for believers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Jesus in humility and obedience, trusting in God's power to work through them for His Kingdom.
Grace
By W.R. Inge0PSA 143:10LUK 7:14ROM 12:2EPH 2:8PHP 2:13JAS 1:5W.R. Inge preaches about the importance of intelligence and will in man, highlighting how the soul's simple work is more beautiful when God works in it. He emphasizes the need for understanding the one work God does in the soul, which is better than anything in the world, leading to the union between God and the soul. Inge stresses that every gift from God prepares the soul for the ultimate gift of Himself, and through grace, anyone can unite their will with God's will, reaching perfection with God's help.
