God's Lessons

"Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days"  -- Proverbs 19:20 / New American Standard Bible

When it comes to learning life's lessons, we can either do things the easy way or the hard way.  The easy way can be summed up as follows:  when God teaches us a lesson, we learn it . . . the first time!  Unfortunately, too many of us learn much more slowly than that.  When we resist God's instruction, He continues to teach, whether we like it or not.  Our challenge, then, is to discern God's lessons from the experiences of everyday life. Hopefully, we learn those lessons sooner rather than later because the sooner we do, the sooner He can move on the next lesson, and the next, and the next.

"Enjoy the adventure of receiving God's guidance. Taste it, revel in it, appreciate the fact that the journey is often a lot more exciting than arriving at the destination"  -- Bill Hybels
