It's easy to learn!

It's amazing to think how the mind works. As a teacher, I am constantly teaching children things they need to know. Multiplication, division, reading skills are all things that will help us to be successful in life. As we learn these basic skills, we can then build upon them to become anything we want and apply this knowledge to all aspects of our lives. However, as focused as we are on education (or lack thereof in some parts of the world), how much studying do we do in our daily lives for Christ? We study for the graduation exams, SAT's, college finals and then we even study for our jobs. DAILY! But how much time is spent in the word? It seems to me that so many people are turned off by the Bible simply because they don't understand it. If you think about how our brains work, God designed them to acquire new information. If He didn't want us learning, he would have made it so. But He didn't.


It makes me think about Devan and any child learning to read. I tell my students that they need to read at least 20 minutes per night to become a better reader. And, of course with any other new skill, it takes time and practice to get good at it. The more you read the Bible, the more the language becomes easier to understand and then it becomes like second nature to pick up the book and read. I encourage you to spend at least 20 minutes a night in the Bible. See what God shows you and where He leads you. I think you will be quite surprised by what you find.


So to help encourage you in your journey of reading, here is a clip of Devan reading "Brown Bear, Brown Bear."
