Teaching is difficult, I may understand the subject fully, but the ability to
express words that edify the student to comprehend is another matter. In addition
to speaking the right words to edify is the awareness of the student, the
willingness to hear and the desire to comprehend. When we look at the Word of
God, the Holy Spirit is our teacher, He always has the right Words, but notice
what the apostle Paul says about the communication between the Holy Spirit and
the natural minded person who lacks maturity. 1 Corinthians 2:9 – “Eye has not
seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which
God has prepared for those who love Him.” Natural minded people are deaf to the
teaching of God the Holy Spirit, and they are blind to the words of the Holy
Bible, but those who by personal faith in God are maturing in God’s love, these
are seeing, hearing and comprehending Spiritual Wisdom.
Devotional: We can be surrounded by Truth from
God, just as the disciples were as they approached the blind man in John
9:1-12. The question of the disciples; for Jesus to explain why the man was
blind, seems odd, but not to these men who grew up under a religious system
that suggests that all human defects are the result of sin. Even in our day, we
have religions that teach or preach the same results by regarding these issues
as the result of some sinful behavior within the family.
God is Glorious; His Glory is revealed by His Word and
through His children; that is, if we care to proclaim it. Even if we should
not, His Glory is revealed apart from you and me in every second of every day.
Psalm 19 reveals that the heavens declare the glory of God and the natural
earth (firmament) shows His handiwork. We who understand this are left with ‘no
excuse’ and we are self-condemning if we do not acknowledge God’s moment by
moment revelation that God alone is worthy of praise.
Please take the few moments today to read John 9:1-12
and Psalm 19:1-14. Jesus is the glory of God.
