Back to The Pastor's Morning Visit
None but God can teach us experimentally; and the lessons He teaches are always useful and important.
He teaches all His scholars to know themselves—their depravity, poverty, and slavery.
He teaches them His law—its purity, claims and penalty.
He teaches them His gospel—its fullness, freeness, and suitability.
He teaches them to know Himself—as a reconciled God, as their Father and faithful Friend.
His teaching is accompanied with power and authority.
Are we taught of God? We may know divine teaching—by its effects. It always produces . . .
humility, they sit at His feet,
dependence upon Him,
abhorrence of sin,
love to God as a teacher,
obedience to the lessons taught,
thirst for further attainments,
and brings us daily to Jesus.
Let us earnestly seek divine teaching; it preserves from . . .
dangers,
sorrows,
snares!
"I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good—and leads you along the paths you should follow." Isaiah 48:17
Lord, teach me, and make me entirely Yours!
