How awesome would it have
been to have learned from and studied under the Apostle Paul?
I have the Holy Spirit. What a marvelous Instructor! He guides me with His
truth, intercedes for me deeper than I can imagine and more than I can fathom!
I have the world’s greatest Instructor, a gift to me by Christ Himself, but how
many classes have I skipped? How many lessons have I left unlearned. How I
would drop anything to listen to the apostle Paul speak for hours, yet I
neglect mere minutes with the Holy Spirit due to my supposedly busy schedule. How
foolish am I?!
Holy Spirit, I want to learn from you. Forgive me
for neglected lessons and plugged ears. Forgive me for times I have come to you
unteachable, with an unwilling heart. Help me to listen, not only to hear; to
learn and not only be taught. I want Your Truth. Teach me your ways, open my
ears to hear Your voice. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all
truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and
doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and
later will be in you. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my
representative--that is, the Holy Spirit--he will teach you everything and will
remind you of everything I have told you.” John 14:16-17, 26
“But you must remain faithful to the things you have been
taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught
you. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God
may be competent, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:14,16-17
