I cannot teach people who do not want to learn from me and I cannot learn from people I do not respect. Is this the truth? Or, is the real problem, you, I don’t want to learn.
There are many things we want to do and we want to do it perfectly the first time. This is the problem, we want instant gratification. That is not how life works; we learn the alphabet before we learn to write.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
I must, we must learn how to learn.
Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
I have determined within myself to slow down and learn. It is not easy because at 63 I realize how much time has already gone by. Young people think they have plenty of time to make mistakes.
Matthew 25:13 (KJV)
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Three things that I remember:
- My son died at the age of 28
- My mother died at the age of 70
- Jesus is coming and I don’t know when.
Whatever God has purposed me to do I must do it with excellence not in a hurry.
