Psalm 25 is a plea, a request entrusted to God to know and discover his ways. God is compassionate and merciful, God is perfect and gives his friendship to those who fear him, to his devotees. And only those who proceed with righteousness, love and fidelity are those who receive his blessings.
Through this prayer, the psalmist asks for the necessary advice to know the true way and give the guide to the humble: "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.", Psalm 25:4; "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.", Psalm 25:9.
When wisdom bears fruit through the spiritual gift of fear of God, that is, through constancy and firmness, God gives us his guide, the perception of truth through intelligence is the true goal of human spirituality: "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and my hope is in you all day long.", Psalm 25:5.
The gift of counsel is the gift of those who have reached spiritual perfection through Gnosis: listen (perceive with attention), meditate with intuition and inspiration, decide with creativity and discernment. This gift seeks the truth and the direct teaching of God, the advice is precision and accuracy.
When the Lord gives us this spiritual gift, we avoid pitfalls, because we resolve what is presented to our judgment as God in person: "My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.", Psalm 25:15. Receive the listening from God is as valuable as gold and silver: "Wisdom is better than strength", Ecclesiastes 9:16.
When this spiritual gift manifests in the hearts of the rulers as it was in the case of King Solomon, exact justice reigns in human society and happiness spreads to simple people, hope is realized and the humble inherit the safe life, that is, they inherit the land: "They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land.", Psalm 25:13.
