Daily devotion – Our Teacher
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. – John 13:13
We are bombarded now with the world’s news messages and philosophies. Via our social media, our news media, emails and even unsolicited phone calls.
Their aim is to shape our thinking, to subtly convince us that the path to contentment is found in having more possessions, or changing our looks, or being famous to list just a few.
God says our thinking must be shaped by His truth. What the world calls valuable, God calls worthless. What this world scorns, God exalts!
Isaiah tells us, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways, My ways.” Isaiah 55:8
Jesus said, “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.”
The question we need to ask ourselves this day is, is Jesus our Teacher and Lord – or is the world?
How wonderful it is that we can sit at His feet, open His Word and have God guide us as to how to live this precious life He has given us?
