To learn how to preform a job we must learn the job and when there is learning to be done, there must be a qualified instructor.
We can not preform a job that we are not skilled to do, we may already be given the tools to use, but they mean nothing if we are not trained to know what each tool does...
Our Father in Heaven tells us to serve him and love him with all our heart, all our mind, soul.
Matt. 22:37
Jesus said unto him, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND.
He also tells us to train our children in the way they should go.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
We are all God's children and he wants to train us in the way we should go.
When we come to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we are new creatures, we are born again, we are babies in Christ ( spiritually that is.)
We are now ready to start our training program in Christ Jesus....
1 Peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire, the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby.
We must humbly submit unto God that he can train us, remembering we have the tools we need for the job, which is (Christ our Lord and the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.) But we must allow ourselves time to be trained, we must listen to our teacher.
We sometimes think we are ready to teach and train, when we still need teaching.
Hebrews 5:12
For when for the times ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
We must be taught God's ways, for our thoughts and our ways are not the thoughts and ways of God....
Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
We must submit ourselves unto God's authority, we must communicate with God, ( in prayer), we must dedicate ourselves to him and through the reading and studying of his word, this is where we learn (The Word Of God.)
We begin to grow in our ability, we grow strong, we begin to preform the works of God, His plans and purpose for our lives.
The more we spend time with the Master of our profession, " Our Lord " the more we will understand and grow in strength and wisdom, knowledge of the work God wants us to fulfill.
We must speak with our Master everyday and ask him to show us his plans for us that day.
We must never start a work that God has not ask us to do, trying to do the work of our own hand, glorifing ourselves, we will surely fail. (Trust God's Leading.)
We do the work of our Lord...
We will be skilled and equiped for the work..
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
If we stick to the Master's Plan it can not fail.
We will only learn when we seek him dilently, we can not be trained if we are not willing to listen and understand with our whole heart.
Wanting to do things our way will leave us desolate. (empty.)
Follow The Master's Leading......
Phil. 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
