Dec. 18 An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable. Ask Me to open your eyes and heart to all that I am accomplishing through this difficulty. Even as a veteran teacher, there are still situations that arise in the classroom that leave me dumbfounded and at a loss as to what to do. Usually they involve situations of how to motivate or teach a student who is reluctant to learn...or reluctant to behave appropriately. Just when I think Ive seen every situation possible, something new rears its head. I still am a student myself in many ways and need a tutor daily. Sometimes the best lessons or reminders come from the students themselves...if Im willing to listen and learn from them. As a teacher, or a parent, or a former coach, we love those teachable/coachable moments. These are moments which are just ripe with opportunity to learn from mistakes, to correct errors, to get better, or to understand and extend a concept or a skill. Many times it does arise out of a problem. Most of the time it was not a part of the lesson plan or the game plan. God uses similar situations in our lives to teach us spiritual life-lessons. But just like a student in a class, we need to have a teachable attitude. We need to see the confidence our Teacher has in our ability to learn. We need to come for help, for tutoring, so that we can truly apply what He is trying to teach us. Having a lousy attitude, whining, and feeling sorry for ourselves seldom allows us to be teachable. Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, He will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, This is the way you should go. whether to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21-22
