John Keating returns to the college prep school that he attended as a teenager. Like any teacher, his style of communication is based upon former mentors in his life. Keating embraces active learning, often taking students outside of class to enhance his lesson of the day. Since July 18th is World Listening Day, it’ important to slow down enough to listen and learn from history.
King Solomon uses the Book of Proverbs to teach his son about how to live a godly life. The introduction in Proverbs 1:1-7 points readers toward fearing the Lord. Each verse serves as a nugget of truth where eager souls can listen and learn from history. When you combine the words of Solomon with Joshua 1:8, reading is a way you can absorb life lessons from history.
Closing Song:
When individuals begin to search for truth, God will start to provide the answers that you are looking for in life. May this day dedicated to listening inspire you to learn from history as you study the Bible.
