Do you Have a Teachable Spirit

(Psalms 25:4) Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. It is of immeasurable importance for Christians to have a heart that is willing to be taught and receive instruction. “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.” (Proverbs 9:9) The benefits of having a heart that is open to instruction are exemplified in the lives of many Bible characters both in the Old and New Testaments. You cannot be a disciple of Jesus Christ without being teachable. The Greek word translated “disciple” means learner. A disciple is someone who is ready to learn. Everyone needs a teachable spirit to learn in order to progress. It takes wisdom to succeed. But, it takes a teachable spirit to gather wisdom. Having a humble attitude will help us go a long way. None of us have all the truth. We are all fallen and finite, and we all see through a glass darkly, as Paul says. While we are to stand very strongly indeed for core biblical doctrines, we can do that while having a humble and teachable spirit. Have A Blessed day
