Teach Me Oh Lord

Scripture Judges 13:8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, and said, “O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.”

Observation: I forget that Jesus was called Rabbi, teacher. That is what He did during His ministry was to teach His disciples and those around Him what they were to do and how they were to act. Even the Bible is a book of instructions giving us examples of what to do and what not to do, giving us rules and laws to follow and telling us the benefits of being true to God’s word. Jesus has not stopped teaching, He has sent the Holy Spirit to continue to teach and show us what we should be doing.

Application: I need to listen and obey my teacher from what I know in His word and also what He shows me each day. I feel at times I’m flunking the course set before me, but then when I listen and obey my teacher the blessings are more than I could have imagined. I need to continue to study and listen so that I may pass the course and graduate to my new heavenly home.

Prayer: My Lord give me a receptive heart and mind. Guide me through this course and tell me the things I should be doing to raise my grade. I want to finish well, but need your guidance and help to do so. I love you my teacher help me graduate to you.
