Not many folks in our culture are teachable. Even Christians feel they have all the answers and don’t need advice from others—particularly from older saints. How gracious of the Lord to give us these godly teachers in the local church who have walked this way before us and can draw from years of experience with God’s faithfulness. King David realized his need for wisdom and direction and pled with the Lord to provide that for him. The Lord is the same today— willing and able to teach us. —Wm. H. Gustafson
