Learning God's Way

May the Lord lead you into a greater understanding of God's love and the endurance that is given by Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 GNB

Few Lessons
1. God always leads us to a deeper understanding of who he is and how he works. God is not content with our good start; he also wants us to grow deeper, stay longer, work harder even as we get to know him more.
2. God's leading as described above is encompassed by his love. All he does is in love, even when events around you speak otherwise. One of the hardest lessons that we need to learn is that God is powerful enough to cause even the 'evil' events around us work out for our good.
3. My understanding of God's love is key to how I see life. Do I see life from God's perspective or from the narrow prism of my own experiences? Do I summarize God's dealings with me just on the basis of what I go through? Do I trust God enough that his love for me is far greater than the pain and trouble that I may face?
4. You will learn endurance by walking with and working for God. I am yet to see a man being used of God without being tried and tested. I am yet to see a man who God took a long way without first approving the depth of his convictions and the quality of his endurance. As God tries and tests, he's preparing you for higher assignments. Take the lessons, learn all you can about God. The lessons you pick up now will speak for you in the places God has been preparing you for. His time of favour is here.
