Teach Me

“Teach me, Lord,” is a constant prayer as you connect with God through Learning. This is what Moses asked God when leading the Israelites to the Promised Land. “Let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor” (Exodus 33:13). After Moses asked God to teach him, the following was given to him and the Israelites: the Ten Commandments, Sabbath instructions, Tabernacle construction blueprints, building of the Ark of the Covenant, and more. God was faithful to answer Moses’ simple prayer!

To understand the mind and character of God, one must intentionally seek and ask for His wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. That’s what James teaches us to do. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5). This is a promise from God!

As you connect with God through Learning, your heart posture should be simply desiring to learn from God, so you can know Him more and grow deeper in relationship with Him. From this place, God will instruct and guide your life. He becomes your Rabbi (teacher), and you become His student. Ask God to teach you today.

Prayer

God, thank you for teaching me your ways, so that I may know You and find Your favor. Amen.

Application

Ask God what He wants to teach you about something today. Be intentional in listening and learn throughout your day.
