God wants to be involved in our lives....

Thinking about God's "gift of learning" ....takes me back to my college undergraduate days studying for a degree in Math Education.  Graduating in Spring 1966, I was going to be a high school math teacher, ....before God helped change my life's direction and started me down a different path of creating media, ....and here we are nearly 60 years later talking through this website.  SMILE, ....God has plans for us to follow Him....

God's "gift of learning"....

I recall in my Teacher Training classes, we studied a learning theory called Bloom's Taxonomy.  It describes six levels of student "learning skills" ....to help teachers write learning goals for the courses they teach, ....such as mathematics, education, health sciences, engineering, business, the arts, etc.  It starts with "Remember" facts and builds to "Create" a new whole from what you've learned.  ....To know more, do an online search for "Bloom's Taxonomy".

As an example of how the progression in learning skills works, everyone knows 2+2=4. ....But, to REMEMBER 2+2=4 ....is just basic memory stuff, ....unless you UNDERSTAND and know how to APPLY the math.  ....For example, consider an architectural engineer designing the foundation of the Empire State Building.  

....Ya gotta seriously learn how to ANALYZE the engineering math, ....so you can correctly EVALUATE the construction design, ....if you're going to CREATE (build) something you will live and work in ....that is still standing firm after a storm!

Basics of God's "gift of learning" to know Him

How about building your life's Biblical worldview, ....so you are still standing firm after a life's storm?  See Matthew 7:24-25  .......Trust me, ....ya gotta know Jesus, ....ya gotta have a learning, believing mind, ....for sure ya gotta want to have a teachable, responding heart, ....if you're going to build (CREATE) a worldview ....that's worth anything to save your life ....and grow in knowledge of God

"Knowledge" (being aware) of scripture in the Bible ....is a good start, ....but YOU HAVE GOTTA ASK JESUS to help you UNDERSTAND (believing mind) that scripture and APPLY (responding heart) it in your life.  ....Otherwise, such "knowledge awareness" is just "basic memory stuff".

Life's Core Learning Goal....

....is "TO EXPERIENCE KNOWING GOD" ....and to GET and KEEP OUR LIVES IN loving, intimate RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST our Savior, Lord, and Friend.  

You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you.
    — Colossians 3:10 TLB

‍

So, how does Bloom's Taxonomy relate....

‍....to learning God's Word, ....so we can live by it....

REMEMBER scripture you've thought about and learned ....Psalm 119:11

UNDERSTAND the benefits of what you've learned ....Psalm 119:105

APPLY "knowledge of God" learned into your life ....2 Peter 1:3,5-8

ANALYZE outcomes of your worldview choices in life ....Romans 12:2

EVALUATE "God's TRUTH" in your worldview choices ....Philippians 4:8-9

CREATE the reality of your life's story ....Colossians 3:10 NCV

....as a witness to WHO YOU ARE IN JESUS, ....because....

You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you.
    — Colossians 3:10 TLB

LORD, ....Give us minds ready to receive wisdom and revelation so we will truly know You.  Open the eyes of our hearts, and let the light of Your TRUTH flood in.  Shine Your light on the hope You are calling us to embrace.  ....Let us see the FULL EXTENT of YOUR POWER that is AT WORK IN THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE, and may it be done according to Your might and power.  Amen.
    — Ephesians 1:17-19 The Voice
