Today's Walk With the Lord: Luke 11:52

Good Morning,

 

Luke 11:52 states:

 

How terrible for you, you experts on the law. You have taken away the key to learning about God. You yourselves would not learn, and you stopped others from learning, too

 

If people know one thing about me it is that I love to learn and like to help others learn also. This scripture touches a huge button with me. Those who try to change the truth to fit their viewpoint of life are actually trying to stop others from learning, and have started to indoctrinate others on a limited field.

 

To be able to learn means that we have to be open to what is out there and not limit ourselves by shutting the door on different kinds of information which is available. From researching, studying and learning we can then find that information that is God inspired and make our own decision on how to apply this to our lives.

 

By keeping this information from others, we keep them from being able to learn, and they loose the ability to reach their full potential.

 

The tighter the lid that is kept on knowledge and the narrower the approved learning materials are, the less people who try to learn from it can become.

 

Let the Holy Spirit guide our learning and open the doors to wherever we are brought to, and let our learning be spirit-filled.

 

With the doorways open, we can better become what God has designed for us in our lives.

 

Don’t be hindered by those, like the experts on the law, who control what others can read and learn, and in addition, don’t be like those experts. Share your information and witness to others, but do not limit what others can experience.

 

Of course, there are exceptions to this, like parents and children, where the children do not have the faculties to make these decisions for themselves while growing up, but when they come of age, they should be their own people, and they will be…(those with teenagers know what I mean).

 

 

Enjoy!
