Let God open your eyes to see

Greetings:
One of the keys of growing in our Christian walk is having a teachable spirit.
As we delve deeper into God's Word and begin to understand what is said our mind and past religious teachings can sometimes get in the way of our comprehension.
Often in my early years of being a Christian, I can recall saying to myself 'that's not the way I was taught'.
That's where we call on the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds and open our hearts to understand God's truths and the light that connects our mind with our soul is turned on.
Proverbs 9:9 says, “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”
The benefits of having a heart that is open to instruction are exemplified throughout the Bible.
David was a man who sought to do God’s will.
Psalm 25:4 says, “Show me your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.”
David was repeatedly calling out to God asking for his guidance and instruction.
“Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day,” David says in Psalm 25:5.
Psalm 86:11, he calls on God and says, “Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.”
In David’s words, we learn of the relationship between being teachable and following God. When we ask the Lord to teach us, we must accompany our request with a heart and desire to do His will. As we seek to know God’s will, we must understand that the process of discerning God’s will for our lives requires us to learn from him. It is imperative to have a teachable spirit.
It is tempting to try doing God’s will in our own wisdom and with our own strength, instead of trying to figure everything out in our heads.
Spending time studying  God’s Word is essential to our growth in Christ. Simply reading the Bible won’t do the trick.  We must approach God’s Word with a teachable heart and a willing spirit and ask God to open our eyes to his great things with understanding and comprehension of what it all means.
Be blessed.
