GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE. Without the Lord, what can we know? We were once blind, but now our eyes are open; but still we are absolutely dependent on divine teaching, or we shall never become truly wise. O God, teach us, that self is vile; the world vanity, sin bitter, the blood of Christ most precious, His righteousness most glorious, His name my only hope, His love my joy, His Spirit my strength, His glory my aim. Teach Thou me, O Lord, is my daily prayer. Teach me, O Lord, more of my Saviour, of what He has done for me, of what He possesses, and will give to all who call upon Him in truth, of what He has promised to work in us, and bestow upon us. Beloved, let us daily plead with God to teach us, that we may know Christ, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, and be made conformable unto His death. Let us beg the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to open to us the knowledge of Christ, that we may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. Jehovah alone can teach us to profit.
For Meditation:
O Jesus, teach my soul to know
Thyself, the Truth, the Life, the Way;
May I in grace and knowledge grow,
Till I arrive in perfect day:
From Satan, self, and sin set free,
What I know not, Lord, teach Thou me.
