READING: Job 4-6, Acts 18
Everyone I know—beginning with me—could use someone wiser and more experienced to speak into our lives at times. Understanding God is so far beyond us that all of us continually have room to grow. In those times, God in grace often sends someone across our path to nudge us in the right direction.
Such was the case with Apollos, an eloquent speaker in Corinth. He taught well what he knew of the gospel, but he not yet heard of anything beyond the baptism of John. Whatever knowledge he was missing, a believing couple named Aquila and Priscilla took him aside (perhaps so as not to embarrass him) and taught him what he still needed to know. Indeed, they “explained the way of God to him more accurately” (1 Cor 18:26).
I am deeply grateful for the teachers God has put in my life in the past. My prayer today, though, is that I would never get so arrogant as to assume I no longer need any teachers in my life.
PRAYER: “Lord, make me teachable, and keep me there.”
DAILY ACTION STEP: Ask the Lord to help you consider areas where you still need to grow. Trust Him to provide someone to help you.
