\n

Since my youth, O God, You have taught me and to this day I declare Your marvelous deeds.
\nPsalm 71: 17<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

David had to recount throughout his life what had been happening to him. \u00a0How he has excelled in life, how he has been protected, etc. \u00a0And he came to a point of realizing that it was not about him but that the Lord was with him always. \u00a0And so it is for us today to have a recount of our own lives.<\/p>\n

How<\/em> does God teach us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He teaches us through His very own Words in the Bible. \u00a0And the Bible is the true book where the wisdom of our wise God is revealed. \u00a0God spoke the Word and breathed into it and it became life. \u00a0We thank God for the Word that is life today. \u00a0The Word that is changing our lives for the best disciples.<\/p>\n

I have learned in life that I can only learn better as long as I study much. Learning is a process which goes step-by-step. \u00a0Looking at myself I have passed through a nursery school (kindergarten) through a higher level and now a profession in my field. \u00a0All this is achievable through teachings, studies etc.<\/p>\n

And so the Word of God teaches us\u2014from a Sunday School kid and now a born-again Christian who is not merely born again but also a disciple of Jesus Christ. \u00a0In Isaiah 8:11, \u201c The Lord spoke to me with his strong hand upon me warning me not to follow the way of this people, he said\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why<\/em> does God teach us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 So that we can walk in the right way: Isaiah says His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. Isaiah 28:26
\n\u2022 That we may know what God have freely given us: We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit Who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. I Corinthians 2:12
\n\u2022 That we know the truth that is in Jesus : Surely you have heard of Him and were taught in Him that is in Jesus. You were taught with regard to your former way of life to put off your old self which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires. Ephesian 4:21-22
\n\u2022 Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you for you yourselves have been taught by god to love each other. 1 Thessalonians 4:9
\n\u2022 All these teachings urge us to appreciate the marvelous deeds God has done. 1 John 2:27<\/p>\n

Let us be Christians who are not only mouthing the words but rather renewed in our minds and able to study the Word of God and observe to do what it says we should do. Joshua 1:8.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n

Father, we thank You for Your Word. You\u2019ve give us the grace to be true disciples that are willing to be taught by a great teacher. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name, I pray. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
