Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your life.”
NL Daily Devotion for Friday, July 28, 2023

I am a lifelong learner. I maintain that if I had inexhaustible resources, I would just be in college for the rest of my life. Since I don’t have said resources, I engage in deep conversations, read and write, and listen to what is going on around me. I love this image of instruction—“for she is your life.” If I don’t continue to learn, to be teachable, I stagnate and, at least intellectually and spiritually, die. Seeking after wisdom is not just about having the right answers or knowing more or better than anyone else. It’s about growing closer to God one day at a time.
How do I continue to learn and grow in my faith each day?
