And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. (Luke 2:46) 

12-year-old Jesus stayed in Jerusalem, although Joseph and Mary had left the feast of Passover.

 

They found him sitting in the temple listening and reasoning with the elders.

 

Jesus sat and listened to the elder teachers; The King of all Kings was teachable! 

 

As you mature spiritually, mentors or teachers who can give you revelation may seem harder to find, but guard yourself from believing there’s no one out there for you or you no longer need elder teachers.

 

We are never too far along in our spiritual journey to not need counsel or guidance.

 

Humility is key.

 

There are wonderful spiritual mothers and elders in the body of Christ.

 

Look for opportunities to mentor others and/or pray for God to bring someone into your life who can mentor you!

 

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. (Proverbs 19:20)

 

When I read this devotion it reminded me of the example we have in Jesus. Everywhere He went He left a footprint for us to follow. Today, take a moment and reflect on this devotion. True humility is staying teachable regardless of how much you already know.

 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
