Give me a few quiet moments in my day, and you will find me watching a Ted Talk, reading a book, or listening to a pod cast on the Enneagram or the topic of brain science. I just can't get enough. Every time I scroll past one of those MasterClass advertisements online, I just want to take the class. I wish it wasn't so expensive---I would totally sign up! I don't care what the topic---although to be fair some are more intriguing than others to me---but, I just want to watch and learn.
I really love learning.
I have always said, I could happily be a full-time student. ...Sitting in class, listening to lectures, reading books, writing and discussing interesting topics. I was born a student.
So... it struck me this morning as I was reading Psalm 19:1-2:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
It struck me as I studied the Hebrew words here in this text. I have a teacher who is always speaking, always declaring and recounting. I have an instructor available to me day after day who will reveal to me knowledge and wisdom. I do indeed sit in a classroom night after night.
What do the heavens teach and declare? What do the skies proclaim and recount?
What is God's creation speaking forth to me---every single moment of each day?
What do the heavens teach and declare? What do the skies proclaim and recount?
What is God's creation speaking forth to me---every single moment of each day?
I can learn so much from God's handiwork, His creation. It speaks. It tells and teaches me about Him that made it... it instructs me of His glory.
Lift your eyes, Stephanie.
May I continue to learn to sit up, take notice, listen to this lecture, read it, take notes and discuss this all important topic!
