Teaching and Praising from God's Word
I did not expect to dwell so long on one verse from Proverbs yesterday. This is the second half of yesterday's picture. At the center of the picture is God's Word, which I need to take in daily, to have it inside of me, to know it so well it becomes part of me, controlling and directing me in all I do. God's Word reveals God to me, helping me to learn all I need to know about life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
If I do not know what God says, how in the world can I teach and admonish others wisely as Colossians 3:16 says I should? But if I do spend the time in the Word each day, letting each passage of Scripture flow through me to the core, learning what God's will is and doing it... then I will be qualified to teach others. Last year I was searching for a devotional book to use with my children because I felt they needed instruction in the Word each morning. We finished one and started another, but something was missing. Now I know what...I was not teaching my little ones what I was learning, but what another author had gleaned from her study of the Bible and found important to share with kids. When I share with my kids what God teaches me, when I share joyously from my heart my daily discoveries, then I am teaching wisely! It makes so much more sense -- to me and to them. God wants me to teach my children from the heart the very things that He has put there in the quiet moments I spend with Him studying His Word.
How thankful I am for what God is revealing to me. This year has been phenomenal as I have studied the Word consistently. Beginning in September God revealed to me again how wonderfully true the Bible is through a short Bible Study about "God's Amazing Book". Then I studied Ephesians, which reminded me of the grace God has given to me and my need to arm myself for battle. In James, God taught me to put His Word into action, and it was then that I began drawing pictures of what He was teaching me. Through studying Philippians, I learned to have a Christlike attitude of obedience as I press on to become the woman He has called me to be. 1 John shed light on who Jesus is and the love he wants me to show to the world around me to prove I belong to Him. In studying the first 19 Psalms I learned about myself as a Christian, Spiritual warfare, and the character of God. How amazingly God has worked in me and taught me in these 9 months. He has planted His word in me, in my mouth and my heart so I may obey it (Deuteronomy 30:14).
Many mornings as I study God's Word, and often throughout the day, songs of praise pop into my head. Sometimes a song I haven't heard in years comes to me all at once and I can't help but sing heartily, praising God. God wants my heart to have a song of praise in it always. When I praise Him (and my children praise Him) it silences my Enemy (Psalm 8:2). It lifts my Spirit when I musically acknowledge God and exalt Him in song. When I praise Him I am more likely to do the right thing and keep my heart pure, avoiding sin. My songs of praise also become a tool for teaching my children about who God is and how important it is to praise His name.
Lord, help me to continue to study Your Word and remember what you are teaching me, putting it into action. Help me to teach my children wisely from Your Word, and continue to fill my heart with songs of praise to You, my great and awesome Savior. Amen.
