College of Grace

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 25:5

"Experimental teaching is the burden of this prayer. David knew much, but he felt his ignorance, and desired to be still in the Lord's school: four times over in two verses he applies for a scholarship in the college of grace.

 "For thou art the God of my salvation." 

 Reader, is He the God of your salvation?
It is a happy thing when we can address the Lord with the confidence which David here manifests, it gives us great power in prayer, and comfort in trial.

"On Thee do I wait all the day." Patience is the fair handmaid and daughter of faith; ...
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us."
Charles Spurgeon
