LIFE LESSONS“Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
God teaches me lessons in various ways with different “textbooks”
and when my heart is open to receive His words
I am blessed with instruction, insights, and knowledge.
The lessons He has for me may be applicable to my life duties or relationships.
Often the things of nature provide me with spiritual truths
or show me character traits I need.
Sometimes the object lessons God gives me are affirmations of His love and care.  “The beauties of nature have a tongue that speaks to our senses without ceasing.
The open heart can be impressed with the love and glory of God as seen in the works of His hand.
The listening ear can hear and understand the communications of God through the works of nature.
There is a lesson in the sunbeam and in the various objects in nature that God has presented to our view.
The green fields, the lofty trees, the buds and flowers, the passing cloud, the falling rain,
the babbling brook, the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens, all invite our attention and meditation,
and bid us become acquainted with God, who made them all.
The lessons to be learned from the various objects of the natural world are these:
They are obedient to the will of their Creator;
they never deny God, never refuse obedience to any intimation of His will.
Fallen beings alone refuse to yield full obedience to their Maker.
Their words and works are at variance with God and opposed to the principles of His government.”
(Ellen White in 3 Testimonies 333) "Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding." Proverbs 3:13
