My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of Isaiah 48:17 “I am the Lord Your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we understand that God’s teachings are all directed to the profit, of those to whom they are addressed. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. If Israel had known Jehovah as its faithful guide and obeyed His commandments, things would have been totally different. But Israel failed to attain righteousness by the keeping of the Divine Law. God tells Israel, “Behold I have refined you, I have proved you, in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake I accomplish it and My glory I give not to another.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Every teaching of Christ lead us to a successful or profitable life. Both spiritually and materially. He teaches you things that will help to further your welfare. God is your conductor and guide. God thought of them as He does His people now, by His providence. His word and His spirit, the way in which they ought to go. At times God teaches through affliction that we may attain profit, at the end. If you do not profit, then it’s because of your own fault and poor discernment.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, The salvation which we received by the grace of God, the effect of the love of God, the doctrine, of His eternal love, the redemption by Christ, justification by his Righteousness, Pardon by His blood, atonement by His sacrifice, and the perseverance, of the saints, in faith and holiness. These are profitable doctrines which serve to display the riches of His divine, grace. He is the Redeemer, and sanctifier, of those who put their trust in Him. He is their peace, joy, comfort, and salvation. Whom He redeems, He teaches. He teaches to profit, by affliction, and then makes them partakers of His holiness.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Christ Himself was a teacher while He was on the earth. And He still teaches them by His ministers. Thus His teachings leads you by the way you should go. Christ leads his people out of the wrong way into the right way. He takes them by the hand and teaches them to go in the path of faith. He leads them in the way of truth, and righteousness, in the way of holiness, in the path of duty. And sometimes through a rough way of affliction, yet in the right way to heaven and happiness. May the Lord lead you in the right way and help you to live a life acceptable in His sight. The Bible says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye.”God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord, we thank you because you instruct us and teach us in the way we should go. You are willing to lead us in the right way. Help us to accept You as our guide and conductor in our life. Teach us to learn the true doctrine of God and follow his footsteps.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
