Rearing: Acts 8 and Geneses 22-23
Scripture: Acts 8:31, And he said, “How can I, unless
someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Observation: This scripture stood out to me for the fact
that it is so easy to just read the Bible as just a story or a history and not
let it speak to you. I do think that there is a lot that we can get from the
word ourselves and with the help of the Holy Spirit but there are things that
we need help to understand. We don’t all just understand it all and that is why
the disciples spent three years with Jesus getting to know him and learning
from him.
Application: We are to have teachers in our lives to help us
to understand and grasp the things the Bible has for us. We are all called to
come to an understanding and to share our experiences with God but others are
called to be teaches and preachers, those of us who are called into those roles
spend more time in the word and helping others to understand the things of the
Bible that are less obvious. Always have someone who is more knowledged then
you are whom you can go to. Even those who teach need someone to go to, we all
need someone who will tell us if we are going of course with our thinking when
reading the word.
Prayer: Lord I think you for the great blessings that you
have poured out on me, watching my daughter grow and develop, and watching you
bring fourth another day. Lord I ask you to help me to hear your Holy Spirit
and perceive the meaning to your word and also remind me I have those around me
who have studied more and I can go and be pastured by. Help me to foster those
relationships so that I can grow deeper with you lord.
