He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. Psalm 25:9 ESV
Psalm 25 includes at least eight times when references to instructing or teaching are prominent parts of praise. It appears the ones who get the most from God’s instruction are humble. They are willing to listen, consider, and meditate on what they’re learning.
You’ve met students who take classes simply because they have to for a diploma or degree. They have little interest in the subject and just want to do well enough to pass the class and put it behind them. This kind of thinking just makes it harder when you’re a student of God. His lessons are for your benefit and teach you about His character.
God can teach you best when you show yourself teachable. You can learn what He wants to do for and with people. He can make right thinking the norm. He will find joy as you discover truth.
Make learning from God something you anticipate. Make truth something you believe in with your whole heart. Make sure your instructor is God.
Prayer: You have given me the ability to learn, Father. I don’t want to be so arrogant that I can’t accept what You say. The quality of my learning is only as good as my ability to really listen to Your instructions. Tune my ears to Your words.
