instructed

With the way life is, there’s always something to learn.

New trends; a new way to cook and another new how to book, always something going on.

Recently I was inspired to give sourdough baking a try and with little success I’m still trying to learn the art of it. I refuse to quit till I master my favorite bread.

When we are willing , we can learn.

Being willing is the first part, being humble is the next so that even if we fail at first, we will try again and again.

And so it is with learning the Bible.

When we approach the scriptures we need to be willing to be instructed and humble in how we receive it.

It’s a book about God the Creator; His Son our Savior and all of earths history known as the great controversy between good and evil.

Yes, there’s parts we all can relate to however it’s a book of lessons in which we light to understand by. This passage in John 16:13, tells how we will be given understanding and in turn this is how we learn to trust and abide in God’s Word.

I came across these verses that inspired this post in Jeremiah 6:16 the Lord says to stop and take a look at the crossroads and consider which way we go. Crossroads for many purpose note the meaning to which direction we will chose to go.

The instruction in this passage is to go to the old ways, “where the good way is.” you can see that there’s an opportunity to learn and walk in His instructions which is according to His will.

Psalm 25:8 the psalmist knows the Lord is upright and good and He teaches sinners the way they should go. Working out our salvation has always been God’s goal and you will learn this when you become a student of His word.

It has been touted as a book of consequences and once you read it you have to decide “Heaven or Hell?” But I challenge you to find out for yourself.

It IS about the good way or the worlds evil way.

Because of the gift of choice, He does not force you to go His way – He makes invitations and He only does this for those who are willing to be lead.

If you are stubborn, prideful and unteachable – He will not be able to instruct. The whole matter is this John 7:16-18 Jesus spoke plainly and revealed the truth here.

Today are you willing to be instructed by His Word? Raise up your hand, the teacher will teach you and you will never walk alone He is the good shepherd. He will lead you all the way.

In Christ Love, Amen
