I once heard my uncle say something about a new co-worker; someone ask him how the new co-worker was doing. His reply was: “He is doing good; he has a teachable spirit.” One can have the best training in the world (you can get no better training than the Holy Spirit embodied in the Word of God,) but if the trainee has no desire to learn from the trainer, he will let it go in one ear and out of the other.

May we desire as Christians to be taught to do the will of God. May our desire be to follow in the ways of righteousness and to be led by the Lord in every area of our life. We all need to have a teachable spirit within us.

Psalm 143:10–“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.”
