Tag: letting God teach us

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-14

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

We are all works in progress. None of us is perfect, nor will we ever be.

It’s just part of being human.

This doesn’t mean, however, that God doesn’t want to be working in us to constantly improve us and make us more like Him.

We will trip and fall. We will get back up. And sometimes we will make the same mistakes several times before we get it right. But God can handle it. We just have to let Him.

So remember, as you go through your day today, if you mess up and say something you shouldn’t have said, or if you get angry when you should have stayed calm or if you make any other mistake, that God isn’t done with you yet.

But He that started a work in you is faithful to complete it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-13

(Isaiah 48:17 NKJV)  Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

Do we feel like we are always struggling to make ends meet?

It can seem like we come up short every month and have to dip over into our savings or next month’s pay, causing us to be short that month, etc. Well, this way of living is clearly not profiting. This is a sign that we need to see and confess to God that we need help!

God’s Words are truth to our being and when we hear them we need to apply them in order for them to work in our lives. I heard this verse loud and clear. God wants to teach us and help us to profit.

God does not want us to just make ends meet. He wants us to go beyond that, but it will take one very important step; letting Him TEACH us.

What does it mean when someone teaches us? First off we have to realize that need to be taught in whatever area it is that we come up short. We need to submit ourselves and all that we knew how to do, and sit and listen to His ways of doing things.

The problem many of us have is that God will spend time teaching us how to make things right, and then once we are out of the problem we go back to our old ways. This is what causes us to get back into the place we once got out of and the cycle keeps going on and on.

When God teaches us to get out of something… financial debt problems, bad relationships, drug problems, etc., we can’t think that we can just pick things up where we left off after we have gotten out of it, fall back into the same bad habits, and then leave Him behind.

After He gets us out, He wants to teach us how to profit and go beyond what we could ever imagine. He wants to take us to different levels. This way, when He is done with us we will never want to go back to the way we were.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-20-12

(Psa 51:10 NKJV)  Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Oh, a CLEAN heart.

Think of how beautiful and clean God is. Nothing about Him is bad or wrong; He is perfect in every way. Wow, how I long to just have one minute go by where everything I do is right within that minute.

Sometimes it seems so hard to do and say the right thing even in just a short period of time. It can be so discouraging at times. It makes me feel so awful and weak at times.

But I know that God is doing a work within all of us and it doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes it takes time for things to get changed and other times it happens quickly. Cleaning the heart is one of the biggest and longest processes there is; everything comes from our hearts.

(Prov 22:15 NKJV)  Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Understand that we are God’s children and if we want this stuff driven far from us, we must let Him correct us, teach us, mold us and train us.

The heart is what we need to focus on. The love of God will help us clean things up and get things right if we go to Him, and those that He leads us to, to get counsel and advice from.

It’s a process and it can take some time, so don’t get discouraged…but be encouraged as we embrace God’s correction for us!!
