If we actually accept God as our loving Father, we will allow Him to be our Teacher and Mentor.No one will continually give their time or other resources to anything that has no relevance to life. Some people perform religious activities out of a sense of duty, obligation or even fear. That person will seldom, if ever, receive any benefit from their efforts.

If we actually accept God as our loving Father, we will allow Him to be our Teacher and Mentor. Since we know He is good and only good, we know there is personal value and benefit in everything that involves Him. From that perspective we read the Bible from the view that every word He has ever spoken is for me and can have relevance in my life. This changes the entire experience.

I recommend every time you read the Bible you ask the Holy Spirit to be your Teacher, but keep in mind as your Teacher He will seek to lead you into a lifestyle and application, not mere doctrinal correctness. As you read prayerfully through His Word you will have insights that will be applicable to your life. The Holy Spirit, who speaks on the Father’s behalf, will show you how to take the ancient words and make them relevant to your life at this moment.

JOIN ME this week and we will continue on this journey that allows God to become relevant in our lives, and open our heart to His personal direction!
