YEARN TO LEARN

Prov. 23:12 Commit yourself to instruction; attune your ears to hear words of knowledge. NLT

How committed to instruction are you? Do you know that there is so much more to learn about the Lord and your walk with Him that you don’t know? Do you realize that what little you do know is not enough to meet the needs and demands of your heart? Do you not know that there is much yet the Lord wants to teach you?

I don’t care how long you have walked with the Lord or how deep into the journey of faith you have gone, if you are not teachable and want to learn more, you will never grow any more than what you have already grown. In fact, you will get smug and complacent in your knowledge and begin to lose ground in your relationship with the Lord. There is no level plateau upon which we can stand spiritually. We are either growing or dying. It’s as simple as that.

We need to always have our ears tuned into what the Lord wants to teach us. We must always desire to know more about how to live more holy lives. We must always want to discover how to be more effective servants and witnesses for Him. We must always want to know how to better help others either find their way to the Lord or to grow in him. We must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with who we are in Him.

Commit yourself to instruction and you will always know the joy of salvation and the power of the Gospel at work within you. You will never get tired of learning more because you will discover that the more you know, the closer you are able to live with the Lord, and the more you will want to know about Him. The more you learn from Him, the more in love with Him you will grow.

Learning at Jesus’ feet is the fuel that feeds our love for Him.
