What Are The Characteristics of God's Teachers?

Now comes a "period of settling down." This is a quiet time, in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace.

Now he consolidates his learning.

Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way out.

"Give up what you do not want and keep what you do."

How simple is the obvious!

And how easy to do!

The teacher of God needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as far as he thinks.

Yet when he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions beside him. Now he rests a while, and gathers them before going on.

He will not go on from here alone.
