Students are not greater than their teacher. But the student who is fully trained will become like the teacher. -Luke 6:40(NLT)
TRAINING FULLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When one wants to learn something
They will continually be probing and seeking
Students are not greater than their teacher
If they are fully trained, they can be better
Discipline is an integral part of learning
It helps you reach your goal and keep on improving
Persevere and you will reap a good harvest
Keep on practicing faithfully and it will manifest.

Have you ever experienced training for a marathon or a race? I was once a cyclist back in my country of origin, the Philippines. We had mini competitions among the club members and I never really competed in any until after I had fallen on my bike in an accident. I didn’t want to lose the skills I have learned in over a decade out of fear from a fall. I joined a big bike competition nationwide. My goal was to beat my fear, not to win the race. I was the only woman in that bike run. Because I have trained daily for ten years, I had the confidence and the skill to join and because I wasn’t afraid of losing, I reached my goal.
The bible points to us that students are not greater than their teacher, but when fully trained they can become like them.
PRAYER
Lord, please let my whole being be fully trained by your Spirit.
REFLECTION
What aspects of your life still needs training?
