2…Lifelong Learners

Good morning! As a former teacher, one of the things I tried to instill in my students was the love of learning something new. I wanted to help them become a lifelong learner. I told them that at the point in their life where they didn’t want to learn anything new, would be the point where they would really quit living.

The same principle is true in our Christian walk. We should want to learn something new about God every single day. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” Through Scripture, we can learn about God’s character. As we read the Bible, we need to be like a sponge and soak up all He has to tell us. And then, as we go through our days, we need to listen to the Holy Spirit as He shows us how to apply God’s words in our daily life.

Another way we can learn about God is through other Believers He puts in our lives. There is nothing like a Christian brother or sister who comes along side us and encourages us with God’s words. Such encouragement spurs us along in our faith. Whether it be a Scripture that we need to help us through the challenges of life, or a reminder from a fellow Believer that God always keeps His promises, God always gives us what we need, exactly when we need it.
