In Grace God Teaches Us
~ May we approach God with a humble and teachable heart. And may we learn whatever lesson we need from the Spirit today, as God teaches us in His grace.
By God’s grace we have been given an entire book of His teaching. The Bible offers you practical wisdom, insight, and revelation that has the power to transform your life. Its very pages are miraculous, the voice of God breaking supernaturally into the physical world — paper and ink in your own language.
Matthew 24:35 says: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away.”
The Bible holds the perfect and eternal words of the Creator of heaven and earth. Even more, as believers we’ve been filled with the very Author of the Bible, the Holy Spirit. We have available to us by God’s grace both the Word and its Author, capable together of leading us to the abundant life God desires for us. Today as we look at all that God desires to accomplish in us through His Word, may your heart be filled with the longing to engage in the process of transformation that comes through the teaching of Scripture.
Psalm 19:7-11 says: “The instruction of the LORD is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. The precepts of the LORD are right, making the heart glad; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are reliable and altogether righteous. They are more desirable than gold — than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey, which comes from the honeycomb. In addition, Your servant is warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.”
David understood the incredible value of the Word he’d been given. God’s Word revives the soul, brings wisdom, rejoices the heart, and enlightens those who read it.
• How greatly do you need what God’s Word gives you?
• Where do you need to be revived?
• Where do you need wisdom, rejoicing, and enlightenment?
Psalm 1:1-3 says: “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”
Those who make God’s Word their foundation and delight are immovable, fruitful, and prosperous. It has the power to lead you away from a life of sin and worldly counsel to a life of abundance and prosperity in the counsel of the Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.”
The Bible is capable of taking a broken and weak person and teaching, correcting, and training them in righteousness that they may be equipped for incredible works. God desires to take any area of your life that isn’t yielding the fruit of righteousness or accomplishing good works and revive them through His Word into areas of strength and life.
Because your heavenly Father loves you, He will always lead you through the Spirit and His Word into better and more fruitful living. God has incredible plans in store for you as you grow in your relationship with Him, and He desires to use His Word to both equip you for, and guide you to, the abundant life He has for you. Meditate on His Word day and night. Read it with the guidance of the Spirit. Receive the revelation, wisdom, and insight He longs to share with you. And choose to live your life in response to Scripture, living in obedience to all that you read.
Meditate on all that God wants to do in you through His Word. Allow desire for His teaching to be stirred as you think about the abundant life He wants to lead you to through Scripture. Think of areas in which you need restoration and wisdom. And commit to engaging in the process of incredible transformation God has in store for you.
