Learning from God

 “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” – Psalm 143:10

We want the Spirit to be at work in us to make us like Jesus. For this to happen, we must open our hearts to the will of God. There are no greater words God wants to hear than "teach me to do your will." That is what it means for him to be God, to have control over our lives and our wills. This is a key part of loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. As we open ourselves to the Father in this way, the Holy Spirit puts us on God's level ground!

Till you are entirely His

James 1:4
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
The discipline of disillusionment

John 2:24-25
But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

Questions in Genesis

27:18
So he went to his father and said, “My father.”
  And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

27:20
But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”
  And he said, “Because the Lord your God brought it to me.”

Psalms is the longest book in the Bible. It contains songs of praise, prayers for God’s help, and poems that express trust in God. The psalms express every possible human feeling, including sorrow and joy, doubt and trust, pain and comfort, despair and hope, anger and contentment, the desire for revenge and the willingness to forgive. As models of prayer and praise, the psalms invite people to share every part of their lives with God.

Scripture for Anger

Proverbs 27:4
Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
 But who is able to stand before jealousy?
