  IS A SPIRITUAL LIFE TEACHABLE . . . #51

Written by Johanna Hobrath

In order to be teachable, the person generally will select a class that offers subjects that bring about more knowledge, and, therefore, apply such knowledge to his or her life.

 

Being a mature adult, the years have taught me many subjects in the realm of:

 

1. Godliness 

2. Relationships 

3. Maturity 

4. Every-day Occurrences

 

Scripture tells us:  “But without faith it is impossible to please him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

 

Also, Scripture tells us: “ . . . faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

 

Does a teachable person say “yes” to everything that another person will tell you?  People can be teachable and submissive, and, yet, use wisdom in discerning what they hear and/or what they are taught.  Jesus said:  “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:  be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”  Matthew 10:16

 

God did not create us like robots.  Your personality make-up will vary with my make-up.  God, however, tells us in Genesis 1:26,27,28 . . .

 

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them.  Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:  and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

 

The previous Scripture Verses tell us that we are made in the image of God; however, you or I have an individual personality.

 

I do believe as a human being we try to live a righteous life;  however, we are not as yet like angels walking in the perfected state and living in the Glorious Eternity.

 

Life, in general, teaches a continuous flow of new adventures within the life-style of daily living.

 

The autumn season of any year will teach that the winter season will also appear.  Life, too, has seasons that bring changes to one’s daily living.

 

The weather with rain or sunshine brings times of needed changes for the purpose of meadows that become green, vegetables that grow, and fruit trees that become ready for harvest.

 

Rain in our lives may also bring negative situations; however, our God sees our pain during those seasons.  Have you grown during the “seasons of pain”?  Yes, I have!  However, I relish the “season of sunshine” and am assured that “Jesus my Sunshine” knows that His child may continue in the Love of Grace that flows from the Treasures of Heaven; namely, our Loving Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God!  (I John 2:1,2)

 

Next time, dear reader, when the rain in your life brings moments of despair, please know that the Sunshine of Heaven, my caring Lord Jesus Christ, surrounds His child with His Sustaining Love forever.

 

James 1:17 tells us:  “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. Etc.”

 

Christians, we serve a Powerful God!
