What did you learn in school today? Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Psalm 25:4-5 What did you learn in school today? This is the question that many of were asked as kids (and many of us asked as parents) as we came home at the end of the day. Experts tell us that there tons of better ways to ask the question. All of this got me thinking about how this applies to us as disciples…students of our Lord Jesus. When did you first learn about Jesus? How did you find out about him? Who was your first teacher of spiritual things? What questions do you still have about God? The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 The “fear of the Lord” has more to do with reverence, awe, and honor than being afraid. What if we set the intention each day to be learners…to seek to learn and understand more about the One who created us…sustains us…redeems us. Not out of duty, but in awe and reverence. What would you like to learn about God today? I wonder what might happen if we allowed Jesus to ask us that question each morning? Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
