Episode 456 - Show Notes
- The Book of Proverbs calls for us to have a teachable spirit. Disciples have a willingness to learn and to follow. This is essentially what a disciple is…a student.
- A hunger to learn and a willingness to search for knowledge is a wonderful gift from God. We must embrace it. We should recognize that we don’t know it all. There is much God wants to teach us. We can learn from the knowledge and experiences of others.
- In regards to our faith and relationship with God, we never arrive at a place of complete knowledge and understanding. How could our finite minds fully understand an infinite God?
- There is always more to learn about God, his character, his ways, his plans, and his will. The appropriate question is: Are we teachable? Are we seeking to know Him more? Are we willing to pursue a deeper relationship with God?
- Even in Heaven, we should not expect that our learning is complete. Paul said in Ephesians 2:7 “in the coming ages [God will] show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” I believe we will forever be learning more about our great God.
- Decide that you will be a life long learner. We have more ways and formats to learn today than any previous generation. In quest for more knowledge, seek God first. Learn from him and let him teach you his ways.
Proverbs 1:5 says, “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.”
Proverbs 9:9 says, “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.”
Proverbs 18:15 says, “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
Psalm 147:5 says, “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.”
