Accelerate Your Learning Curve
By
September 1, 2006Today we are wrapping up the 4th corporate value of the “good way” spoken of by Jeremiah and modeled by Jesus. We begin by studying Scripture. I don’t mean just reading the Bible; I mean digging into it, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you and then waiting in silence, meditating on the word, chewing on it so to speak until it bursts in your mouth and you experience flavors you never knew were there.
Then read commentaries that shed light on the times and customs of the people who wrote those words. (I use SwordSearcher) You will learn that when Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon you”, He wasn’t talking about putting your head in the kind of yoke an ox wore when plowing the fields. He was speaking of His teachings on the law and their application to life. Believe me, context helps considerably!
Then find other believers who are serious about living out their faith in the marketplace, who want to succeed in their vocational calling and be a witness to the world around them. Join or start a Selling Among Wolves coaching group in your area or find another of the many excellent Christian business groups available. Read biographies of great men or women who lived a submitted life to Christ and excelled in their field. Glean from the examples of successful contemporaries and take responsibility for your education. In all your getting, get wisdom. If you don’t know, follow Jeremiahs advice (Jer 6:16). Stop what you’re doing, open your eyes and ask.

Taking His yoke upon me has for many years meant the easy side of the two oxen. I don't know where i got that but, i mean He does the inside work and we obey Him. If we are praying for someone to be saved, we live our life before them in touch with Jesus and the Lord does the \"inside job\" on the dear one. Our yoke is easy. How often we take the hard side and try to do the inside work only to get extremely frustrated.
