Psalm 143:10 (NIV)
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your
good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Oh, the ease at which we walk on level ground. The
psalmist asks for easy leading from the Holy Spirit to learn the will of God.
You might not know the name Angelo Dundee, but you've
undoubtedly heard of Muhammad Ali, probably the most famous professional boxer
of all time. For more than two decades, Angelo Dundee was in Muhammad Ali's
corner, literally. He was Ali's cornerman! He's the one who made Ali float like
a butterfly and sting like a bee. He also trained fifteen other world boxing
champions. Angelo Dundee described his job as a cornerman this way: "When
you're working with a fighter, you're a surgeon, an engineer, and a
psychologist."
As followers of Jesus Christ, we have something even better
than a surgeon-engineer-psychologist in our corner—the Holy Spirit. [Mark Batterson, If (Baker Books, 2015), page
249]
Holy Spirit break us
Come and overtake
us
You're the one
we're living for
Holy Spirit lead
us
To the heart of
Jesus
There is nothing
we want more
Teach us how to
live beyond ourselves
Let everything we
say and do
Bring glory to
Your name and bless Your heart
God Show us how to
love like You
Strip away my
pride and selfishness
Take me back to my
first love
Falling on my knees,
now I confess
You will always be
enough
