It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Teach me, a reflection on Psalm 25:1-5

We read in Jeremiah the promise of what is coming--justice and righteousness and safey. In Psalm 25, we find the words to respond to this promise.

I trust you, God, protect me.
Teach me your ways.
You are my salvation

In his Old Testament Theology, Volume Three, Israel's Life, John Goldingay writes:
....that is, let me see you acting in a way that reflect who you are, so that I come to make that the basis of the way I act.
