As a teacher, there are many different times when I am engaged in "professional development" of one form or another. While there is always more to learn and ways to improve. In order to grow and improve in anything, we need to be engaged in learning, practicing, and listening!
Often our ability to engage and learn depends on the teacher and the choices the teacher makes to help us understand. Fortunately, God is willing to be our teacher and guide. He teaches us in many different ways. We can learn from the examples provided as we read His Word. We can listen to His voice as we pray and communicate with Him. We can learn from the people and experiences that God provides as part of our journey. Through all things, God is our guide and teacher as long as we engage with Him, we can learn and have hope!
Listen to God, your guide and teacher, so you can continually learn!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for teaching and guiding me. Help me learn and to have hope in You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
