How can we apply "you would teach me" to our spiritual growth today? The Verse at a Glance “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” – Psalm 143:10 What the Verse Shows Us • God Himself is the Teacher. • The lesson is obedience: “to do Your will.” • The Holy Spirit is the guide who makes the path straight (“level ground”). Inviting God to Teach Us • Begin each day acknowledging His authority: “You are my God.” • Ask specifically for instruction before acting, not after mistakes are made. • Keep the Word open; His primary classroom is Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16). Adopting the Student’s Posture • Humility – accept correction eagerly (Proverbs 3:11-12). • Attentiveness – listen more than you speak (James 1:19). • Perseverance – stay in the lesson until understanding comes (Luke 11:9-10). Practical Steps for Spiritual Growth 1. Schedule “class time” – Set a fixed slot for unhurried Bible reading and reflection. 2. Write “lesson summaries” – After reading, jot one sentence: “Today God taught me….” 3. Immediate obedience drills – When the Word exposes a change you must make, act on it the same day (John 13:17). 4. Holy Spirit check-ins – Pause throughout the day to ask, “Am I still on level ground?” (Galatians 5:25). 5. Review and rejoice – End the day thanking Him for every insight and surrendering any area still unclear (Psalm 119:105). Growing Confidence in the Teacher • His wisdom is perfect (Psalm 119:68). • His motives are loving (Jeremiah 31:3). • His lessons never fail (Joshua 21:45). Long-Term Fruit We Can Expect • Steadier walk—fewer stumbles on “level ground” (Proverbs 4:18). • Sharper discernment—recognizing His will faster (Romans 12:2). • Deeper intimacy—knowing not just His commands but His heart (John 15:15). Closing Thought Inviting God to teach is more than acquiring information; it is yielding the whole day, every day, to the One who knows the path, walks beside us, and shapes us to please Him in all things. |
