Teaching and Learning

"Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in His ways.  He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way." -Psalm 25:8-9 (NIV)

I volunteer for at a nature center and environmental education organization that sometimes seems to think it doesn't need to continue to learn and grow.  One of the difficulties can be showing how the organization can grow and better serve people when the leadership is unaware of and resistant to what can be done.  Looking at the nature center makes me think.  Sometimes we are satisfied with our spiritual lives and our relationship with God, but we could have so much more!

God loves us and He is the ultimate teacher.  He is waiting for us to want to learn more about Him and to develop a closer relationship with Him.  He wants these things and He is ready to forgive our sin and take us under His wing, but He does not force us to sit, listen, and learn.  He knows that we have to be ready to learn.  It is up to us to realize that we shouldn't be satisfied with a casual relationship.  It is up to us to realize that we could know and do more with God.  Once we realize these things, we can call on God and He will teach us!

Realize that there is more to learn and ways to grow, then call on God and let the teaching and learning begin!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being willing to forgive my sin and to teach me.  Help me to be ready to learn from You and to develop a closer relationship with You.  Through Your Son I pray, amen.
