It is a headache for parents when a child is obstinate and contends with righteousness. It is difficult for teachers when the student resists instruction. It is challenging for employers when an employee defies protocol.
Spurgeon speaks of David having a teachable spirit, "O God, You have taught me from my youth: and until this time have I declared Your wondrous works." (Psalm 71:17). Mary demonstrated a teachable spirit as she chose the better things and sat at the feet of Jesus and listened in Luke 10:39. It is a humble position to stake in life to, no matter our age, be teachable. I pray that this week we will all just sit at the feet of Jesus and rest our minds and bodies, taking time to hear from Him. I pray that whatever He reveals to us to do, we will accept it as truth. We can then embrace that teachable spirit and like David declare His wondrous works. Let us not resist instruction but lean into the righteousness of God. There is a time when we need to just listen.
