Psalm 143 presents the God-follower, the believer, with a simple, tried-and-true formula for success in the Godly walk. I'd write a book, but it appears God has taken care of that already! Biblical success, properly reflecting God's glory, begins and ends with understanding our relationship with God, and then acting appropriately.
"Hear my prayer, O, Lord."
"I meditate on all Your doings."
"Teach me the way in which I should walk."
"For I trust in You."
"I take refuge in You."
"Teach me to do Your will."
"For I am Your servant."
Naturally, all this could be expanded upon in much greater detail. But in a simple manner here, the psalmist describes an active relationship with the Lord. He is teachable, he understands his place before God. He talks with God, he studies God, he seeks to do God's will.
He makes the claim to be a servant of God. A humble servant, completely trusting in the Lord. Am I? Are you?
