Message
Someone once said that the world is a school, and those who are wise go to school to take lessons everyday because there is always something to learn there. Proverbs 9:9 says that if you give instructions to a wise man he will become wiser. You must be open to learning from others because everyone has something to teach you, eve children. A teachable fellow is always willing and ready t learn. Mark 4:25 says;
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
Anyone who is willing to learn every day will have more understanding and wisdom. A teachable fellow is open t knowledge and is always willing to add other people's wisdom to his or her own. When you are teachable, you learn mainly through instructions, not by experience. For example, if you keep telling a boy not to put his hand in a fire and you constantly keep him away from hot objects, if the boy is not teachable, he will always want to run towards what you are trying to save him from. One day, he might eventually put his hand in the fire and get hurt. However, a teachable child will listen to instructions, obey them, and grow in wisdom. He or she will not have to experience the pain that comes from disobedience by nursing wounds that could have been avoided.
David was a very teachable fellow. Many times in the Bible, he prayed and asked God to teach him; He was always willing to learn. In Psalm 25:4, he asked God to teach him His paths. When you are open to learning about God's paths, you can never miss your way. In Psalm 119:26 and Psalm 119:33, he asked God to teach him His statutes so that he could keep them until his death. In Psalm 119:66, he wanted to learn good judgment and knowledge. Also, he asked God to teach him to do His will in Psalm 143:10. No wonder, up until today, David remains the most celebrated king that Israel ever had.
Today's Bible reading talks about some believers from Berea who were ready to learn. They received the word of God with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily. The Bereans were hungry for God's word and remained meek enough to search the Scriptures daily.
Beloved, be like the Berean Christians and be committed to learning every day.
