Learning

I find it interesting that sometime I can be inspired by book titles that I read… Books will come along and even the outside title of the book will inspire me to sit down and write a little blurb.

So here we go, and I might do this again...

Learning

“the state of being taught”

“the state of being taught by a Higher Being”

“the state of being in instruction”

The list could go on and on. 

What are you learning? For me I don’t think that list would ever end because I am still learning so much…

Learning to allow God to have control, always.

Learning to trust God more and more each day.

Learning to allow God to rule every thought that passes through my mind at every minute of every day or night.

Learning to overcome temptation when it stares me in the face.

Learning to be strong and courageous

Learning to find security in Christ and not in earthly measures.

Learning to be patient when God doesn't give me an instant directional decision

Learning to be in the center of His Will.

The Hebrew word for learning is leqaḥ which means to provide instruction. The Greek word for learn is manthanō which means to learn or to understand. 

When understanding Hebrew and Greek words it is important to note that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. This being said if we think about the word "learning" in the Old Testament God, through His writers provided instruction and although that also took place in the New Testament, it was easier for them to learn and to understand given the instruction of the Old Testament and Death and Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Just another reason why we know that the Bible is truly the Inspired Words of God.

What can you understand, or in past tense, what have you learned through God's Instruction in your life? 

That’s a big one for me because yes I can sit here and go through all the things that God has and is teaching me, but if I haven't learned anything what has it profited me. Like 2 Timothy 3:7 says that will happen in the last times, “Always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth." It is so easy for me to do this. We say we have learned it, yet we turn around and do it all over again. I pray that each one of us would take it upon ourselves to break that cycle, and to come to the Knowledge of the Truth, and to learn the lessons that God is trying to teach us no matter how big or small.
