Leaning Into Instruction
Key Verse : Proverbs 29:1
Truthfully, instruction can be hard to hear, but it can also be a beautiful conduit for God to mold and prune you. Neither of which particularly feel good in the moment but always end up having significant value in the Kingdom.
In fact, learning to lean into instruction is one of the most valuable lessons you can learn as a Christian. One man in the Bible showed us just how to do that in Acts 18:24-28.
Apollos was a devoted follower of God; someone knowledgeable in Old Testament Scriptures and a disciple of John the Baptist. He was excited about sharing God with the lost and seemed to be on the right track. In his journey, Priscilla and Aquila had the opportunity to hear Apollos teach and noticed some missing theology about certain Christian truths. They lovingly pulled him aside and shared with him these truths of the risen Christ so that moving forward, his teaching would be stronger.
What strikes me is the reception Apollos gave to the instruction. He could have pushed back and cited his knowledge of the Scriptures or his time being discipled by John. He could have refused to listen and kept doing what he was doing. But he didn’t.
Instead, Apollos received the instruction and implemented it. He embraced the correction, wove it into how he operated moving forward, and allowed it to make him a more effective witness.
So, how are you with instruction? Do you fight it, whether internally or professionally, or do you take it in and meditate on what has been shared with you? Do you allow correction to make you better? I hope so. The truth is, as you walk with a teachable spirit, God will only increase your reach. This is gold in pursuing the call on your life!
I know correction and feedback isn’t always easy to receive, but it’s how you choose to respond in these moments that will determine the trajectory of your course. Your ability to embrace instruction directly correlates with the breadth of your influence. Move through life with a teachable spirit!
