Be Taught and Teach

"The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death" - 13:14.

Teachers were responsible for imparting valuable life and faith lessons that directed Joseph, David, and Daniel when they were faced with difficult circumstances threatening their futures. Each one relied on the truths they had been taught and God not only delivered them, but promoted them to important positions. Are you in some major test of life and things look bleak? It's not time to panic or take matters into your own hands. Remember what you have been taught and act on it. Then become a teacher yourself and equip someone else today for challenges and opportunities they will face tomorrow. Read what the writer of Hebrews had to say about becoming a teacher in Hebrews 5:11-14. Determine to be guided by past lessons learned and then teach others those same lessons as you mature in the Lord.
