Sometimes we forget that learning from God isn’t just about studying or listening to sermons—it’s about staying open, aware and teachable.
In this passage, Elihu is calling that out. He’s saying, Don’t just survive like the animals. You were made for more than instincts. God is trying to teach you something.
And honestly? That still hits today.
We’re not just meant to react to life—we’re invited to reflect, listen and grow. And God, in His kindness, gives us wisdom that goes way beyond survival. He gives “songs in the night”—those gentle moments of hope when everything feels heavy. He speaks through your late-night prayers, your morning walks, even that one conversation that stays with you long after it ends.
Maybe you’ve learned more about grace through parenting than you ever did in a Bible study. Maybe you’re gaining patience through a season of waiting, or clarity through a struggle you didn’t ask for.
This is what divine education looks like. Not always clean or obvious—but always purposeful.
So today, instead of rushing past the hard stuff or tuning out the quiet, ask yourself: God, what are You teaching me here?
Let that question guide your day. Let it shift how you see interruptions, how you handle stress and how you sit with silence.
Because you weren’t created to just make it through, you were created to grow in wisdom, shaped by a Maker who’s always teaching—if we’re willing to ask, Where is God, my Teacher?
