Psa 25:1 A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Psa 25:4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Psa 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Psa 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Php 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Transforming Power Statements:
1) The Scriptures clearly teach that God is merciful and utilizes teaching as a means of adjusting the way of thinking of the ones whom He loves knowing that fallen people have a great struggle dealing with the fallen mind and need instruction to learn how to overcome the things that are contrary to righteousness.
2) The Psalmist reveals that God is ready to forgive and yet teaches those who trust Him in the ways that lead them to right attitudes and produces right actions as the believer walks by faith.
3) The picture of what Jesus did by becoming flesh in order to pay our debt to God no matter what the personal cost to Him was (and it was tremendous!) is the place we must place our minds in order to be able to attain maximum growth in the Spirit.
