Be Teachable

As I take a look at our key scripture, I am reminded of God’s love for us. We are truly fortunate to have a Father that disciplines and instructs us. It is our job to be teachable and make sure we are paying attention.

This verse also stresses that the Lord gives us relief in the days of adversity. It is good to know that our God is strategic. Everything he does has purpose. Nothing that we encounter surprises him. He uses the hardships of our journey to mold us to be more like Jesus, and it pleases him to see us this way.

When you are faced with difficult issues take time to consult the Word of God. It is through his Word that we find the ammunition we need to keep us firmly planted as the pressures of life mount. My prayer for you today is that you will begin to desire the sincere milk of the Word. Allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen you in your everyday walk. Be teachable as the Lord trains and instructs you in the way that you should go.

Father, your Word teaches us that we can trust you in our daily lives. I pray that we will take the time needed to learn the lessons that you are teaching us. I pray that we will be students of your Word, desiring your Word as our necessary food. Amen.
