“Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.” (Acts 18:24-26)
Apollos had a great deal of knowledge, but he was still teachable. He was never one to believe that he “knew it all.” Priscilla and Aquila took on the job of mentoring Apollos, and he was willing to learn from his hosts when they took him home to complete his education in the faith.
We should never stop learning. We can learn from our personal reading and studying, from group studies, and from our experiences as we walk the walk of faith. And it’s not just knowledge, but as we learn God’s wisdom, we can apply that as well. All of this can help us make some good decisions as we walk with the Lord each day.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for all the ways you increase our knowledge and wisdom. Help us to always be teachable, knowing that there is always something more we can learn and use for your honor and glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
