Targeting the Teachable

"Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach SINNERS in the way.... and the MEEK will He teach His way.... he that FEARETH THE LORD... shall He teach in the way that He shall choose" (Psalm 25:8,9,12). "I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river" (Isaiah 48:17,18). "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures" (Luke 24:45).

God is good and He is kind;
And therefore shall He teach the mind
Of sinners who would through Him find
From sin their sweet release.

God is good to those who seek;
And therefore shall he teach the meek
Who find His strength when they are weak;
And faith thereby increase.

God is good to all those who
Will fear, and trust, and find Him true.
And He will choose what they shall do,
The way of perfect peace.
