YOUR EYES SHALL SEE YOUR TEACHER
Isaiah 30:20-23
20Though the Lord gave you adversity for food
and suffering for drink,
he will still be with you to teach you.
You will see your teacher with your own eyes.
21Your own ears will hear him.
Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
whether to the right or to the left.
22Then you will destroy all your silver idols
and your precious gold images.
You will throw them out like filthy rags,
saying to them, “Good riddance!”
23Then the Lord will bless you with rain at planting time. There will be wonderful harvests and plenty of pastureland for your livestock.
So many things to learn from the above scriptures but one
thing caught my attention and that is the wonderful phrase "But thine eyes
shall see thy Teacher.
In the body of Christ, so many of us have professed to be
teachers of the Scriptures--and rightly so. But I am coming to a realization
that only one is our Teacher--Even the Christ.(See Matt 22:8). When he was to
leave the earth He said He will send the Spirit of Truth who is to teach us the
truth. This He has since done.
Thus I believe that the best thing we can do for the body of
Christ is to point all to our Divine Teacher who is the Holy Spirit. The major
task of everybody appointed by God to be teachers in His house is to teach
God's children how to listen to the Holy Spirit and to be sensitive to Him. As
we see in our Text, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is the cause of true
repentance which is the prerequisite for the out pour of the rain of God
resulting in abundant fruitfulness.
I pray that our eyes may be opened to see our Teacher in the
name of Jesus
