Jesus Christ, My Teacher

Isaiah 30:20-21  And though the Lord has given youThe bread of adversity and the water of oppression, Your Teacher will no longer hide Himself in a corner, But your eyes will see your Teacher.And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it,When you turn to the right or turn to the left.

As a man on the earth with free will and cognitive power bestowed upon in creation by God, I tend to depend upon my own human wisdom to plan and do things at my very own best. Nevertheless, my Teacher, Jesus Christ, has been behind the scene in all situations. He's been speaking to me, audibly at times, visible at other times, and mysteriously oftentimes. 

Three very subjective experience are truly worth mentioning. 

Travel Plan: I had to plan my schedule for the upcoming two months to participate in the Lord's move in India. But somehow, every time I was about to make the final decision, something within me stopped me. Even as I tried to forego the inner whisper, circumstances will not just cooperate. I was about to book tickets a couple of times, but every time, either it failed technically or I gave up due to lack of inner peace. And finally one day, after prayer and fellowship, it became very clear to me, and then my Teacher confirmed within to book a ticket, on which date and by which means of transportation, and thus it was confirmed.

Insurance Plan: I was enrolled for a life-insurance policy five years ago, and every year by June I have to pay the premium. This time I completely forgot all about it. Though there was the money, I intended to gift it to my brother for family needs. In fact, I even spoke to him with surety that I would transfer the money as soon as possible. But however, till date, almost a month now, I never had the clear cut confirmation. Two weeks ago, I was just reminded of my need to pay the premium, I came to my sense why the Lord did not give me the go-ahead signal. I paid off my premium, and other family needs followed suit. Then I understood, why the Lord withheld what I told my brother. Later, in fellowship with my wife, we agreed to do the family help in the latter part of this year.

Academic Matter: I had to write my Greek final exam but I was also planning for another exam and interview for academic qualification upgradation. But the Lord knew that two things would coincide and that it would not be practical. Though I tried my best to prepare for the exam, the Lord just touched my health just before the exam, weakening me to the bed that I could not even study at all. Finally, I had to give up one and rather concentrate on the Greek final exam and other more important official project. By any means, it was impossible to do the two together. I didn't realized it until recently when I could hardly find time even for myself. My Teacher, has been faithfully leading me all these while.  

Your Teacher will no longer hide Himself in a corner, But your eyes will see your Teacher.And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it,When you turn to the right or turn to the left.

Jesus Christ, My Teacher, knows the best for me. I better listen to Him only. 

Thank you Lord, for leading me thus far. And continue to lead me, on and on, unto the end.
