24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;
show me where I have been wrong.
25 How painful are honest words!
But what do your arguments prove? Job 6:24-25
This week many schools started around the area, and as teachers began to fill students with knowledge and encouragement. It reminded me of what I was originally trained to do, but did not follow through on a career as a school teacher. My sister has been a teacher for over 30 years, and I imagine she had what it took to have that special skill of reaching kids. The thing about teaching is it doesn't stop at kids, teenagers or young adults. Many of us work many years and are taught things throughout our life, but do we actually learn what we are supposed to in order to help us grow? I can honestly say that at my current age and job that I make mistakes, but I do learn from them most of the time. However, how many of us listen to the true teacher, the one that holds all the answers. I know that we can easily struggle to be quiet and listen to our Father in Heaven and what He has to share. I encourage you this week to stop and listen to His voice and teachings, and learn from the One who created everything.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
