That Which I See Not Teach Thou Me

APRIL  30

That which I see  not teach thou me

That which I see not teach thou me: if I have

done iniquity, I will do no more. Job 34:32

We were once blind, but now our eyes are open; but still we are absolutely dependent on the devine teaching, or we shall never become truly wise.

If God teaches us, self will become vile; the world vanity; sin bitter; and the blood of Christ most precious; His righteousness glorious; His name our only hope; His love our joy; His Spirit our strength; His glory our aim; and “Teach Thou me,” our daily prayer.

We see but little of what Christ is in Himself; of what He hath done for His people; of what He possesses, and will give to all who call upon Him in truth; of what He has promised to work in us, and bestow upon us.

Beloved, let us daily plead with God to teach us, that we may know Christ, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, and he made conformable to His death.

Let us beg the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ, that we may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.

Jehovah alone can teach us to profit.

O Jesus, teach my soul to know

Thyself, the truth, the life, the way;

May I in grace and knowledge grow,

Till I arrive in the perfect day;

From Satan, self, and sin set free,

And what I know not teach Thou me.

James Smith
