A Tiny Boat in a Vast Ocean
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”
Colossians 1:9-12

Ponder This
Are you excited about truth? I had dinner with someone recently, and that person leaned over the table, and he said to me, “Pastor, what new truths are you learning?” That blessed me so much. May I ask you that question: What new truths are you learning? Are you still in bondage to prejudice, lies, pressures, and fears? It is because you’ve not understood the truth. Are you learning humility? A man who is learning truth doesn’t tell you how much he knows; he’s telling you how little he knows and how much he has yet to learn. The truth is, the more you learn, the more you realize that the ocean is vast, and your boat is tiny.
Do you read for enablement? I continue to read so I can keep growing. Would you like a pastor who never read; a pastor who was just drawing out of his own well? No! I could not stay and pastor this church for twenty-five years if I remained static and didn’t grow. I want my doctor to continue to read. If a man is going to work on my car, I want him to be up to date. Do you want to do your job better? You need to upgrade your skills. Reading alone will not change you, though. You need to apply what you read.
- Do you long to keep growing as a person? How does that happen?
- Who have you known to be a life-long learner? What is that person like?
Practice This
Talk to someone you consider to be a life-long-learner. Ask that person how he or she made it an ambition to always be growing.
