Jesus, My Teacher

"The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."  Isaiah 50:4

As my alarm went off this morning, I did my usual grumbles and argued with myself on whether or not I should hit the snooze button or stay underneath the warm blankets.  I finally dragged myself out of bed and onto my feet, even if I was still half asleep. I began to set my mind upon the Author of my day and ask for His guidance.  Immediately, my mind was taken to Isaiah 50:4 and the words began to recapitulate themselves in my head, morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. These words began to saturate themselves in my heart as I realized that God had something to teach me today if I was willing to open my spirit to His still small voice. Thinking about it further, I realize that every morning that I am ushered into a new day, God has something to teach me and words to pour into me.   I am his student and He is my teacher. His still small voice offers me guidance when I'm not sure in which direction to walk, confidence to be what He has called me to be, the power to be a witness, and wisdom to make the right decisions that the day calls for.  If we rise each day ready to be taught,  God will pour into us words, dreams, visions, and most of all, valuable instruction that will empower us to do His will. When God has poured into us, we can then pour into others. Tomorrow morning, when God wakes you up, come before Him like a student ready to learn from the Teacher of Teachers.  Who knows what you will learn for the day!
