Daily Devotions for March 1

Job 36:22 

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Over the years, I have had many teachers.  Some have been inspiring and some have been mediocre.  This is true in the academic realm and the spiritual.  But I can learn from the greatest Teacher ever every day.  That teacher's name is God.

No one can instruct us as the Almighty Creator.  He can give us insight, direction, and the Good News of salvation.  Can you imagine what it would have been like to sit at the feet of Jesus as He was teaching?  Wouldn't you have loved to be with the disciples as He was telling them what was to come and His reason for coming to earth?  Even though we weren't there with Him we have access to everything that He taught through the Bible.  We know that Jesus would often say that everything He did was to bring glory to His Father.  He teaches us to do the same.

Having the Scripture to guide us give us the opportunity to learn from the Greatest Teacher of all times and is an honor and a blessing.  But with that comes the added responsibility to follow through with what He has instructed us to do.

As we go through the day, let us remember to take the opportunity to learn from the Teacher who can teach like no other.
