Gayle, our daughter-in-law sent me her “InterVarsity Alumni Newsletter”. She said that it reminded her of my latest post.
InterVarsity introduced its article with these words. “Thankfully, God can and does grow us in the midst of our daily rhythms … He uses both kinds of experiences – our day-to-day life and unique service opportunities – to bring about transformation.” Following are the specific resources that they suggest:

GROWING IN MISSION: Urbana 15: Not Just for Students
GROWING GOODNESS: The Fruit of the Spirit in Our Lives http://www.intervarsity.org/blog/fruit-spirit-goodness
GROWING IN CHRISTLIKENESS: Missions isn’t just for super Christians http://www.intervarsity.org/blog/why-missions-matters

Since I began teaching Bible studies and training leaders, one of the roles that Christ plays in my life is that of a Master Teacher. Don’t misinterpret that statement. I am not saying that He is just a good teacher. He is the second person of the Trinity, the Son of God. What I mean by His being my Master teacher is that He has a plan for my growth as a teacher and He guides me through what I read, study and experience so that I reach the goals He has for me.
Although I no longer have a teaching ministry, I still rely on Him for my spiritual growth: and I get excited when I see that He still responds to me by putting in my path lessons that I see He has coordinated. As an example, I was making sure that I remembered the verse containing the Fruit of the Spirit when I received the Intervarsity article. Lo and behold it contained articles on the Fruit of the Spirit. Also, I’m reading Eric Mataxas’ book, Miracles. This week is Holy week. Guess what chapter I’m in. The Miracle of the Crucifixion.
My Master Teacher has given me this week’s assignment. If you are not doing a daily Bible study, ask God to put in your path one that He knows will lead you in the way He knows you need to grow. Be vigilant in watching for it. There’s nothing like receiving the special attention of the Master Teacher.
