Hold on to this. It is your life!

I always remember that famous quote: “When the student is ready, the teacher will show up.” That is certainly true of Almighty God. He is always ready to teach us by His Spirit. He is ready to guide us on straight paths. Proverbs 4: 11-13 says: “I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.” He is ready to teach and guide us. However, it is our responsibility to take the steps. It is our responsibility to run our race. Just as long as we hold on to His instructions, He will guide us through any and all challenges life throws our way, and believe me, there will always be challenges along the way. But this one thing is true: God’s promises are bigger than your adversity. Remember: Hold on to His instruction. Guard it, for it is our life!

Proverbs 4: 11-13 says: “I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.”

This is the secret to being blessed!

Psalm 94:12 (AMP) says: Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, And whom You teach from Your law.” The word blessed means: “joyful, contentment, good fortune, consecrated, to speak well of.” When God blesses us, He is lovingly sharing his grace, wisdom and favor with us. He bestows upon us an environment where others look at us and declare that we have come in to a place of good fortune. Do you want to be “blessed?” Read Psalm 94:12 again. God blesses the person who submits to His discipline and instruction. Most people reject His discipline and instruction, thus they remove themselves from the process of being blessed by God. When one enlists in the army, the first thing the drill sergeants do is re-make them by putting them in a place of discipline and instruction for several months. Most admit that this process is very difficult. But the finished picture is that they become disciplined, battle-ready soldiers! God also brings us into times of discipline and instruction, not to destroy us, but to build us up into strong and blessed believers. He teaches us His law so that we can walk wisely and confidently on this earth. And as we embrace His discipline and instruction, people will look at our lives and call us blessed! Do not be afraid to embrace His discipline and instruction. He disciplines the ones He loves.
