I love this quote about life being a school in which you learn the lessons after you take the test, as I've found it to be so true! And God will just keep putting you in circumstances to get you to learn the lesson He has to teach you from His Word until you do so. Amen?
"Effective discipleship depends on close attention to the Word of God. The Spirit of God teaches us from the Word, & then He directs our lives into circumstances that force us to trust the Word & act upon it. It has well been said that life is a school in which you learn what the lessons were after you take the test. It is not enough to appreciate the Word and hold it in high esteem; we must also apply it. A true disciple is much more than a learner; he is one who lives what he learns. It is not in the studying of the Bible that we grow spiritually, but in the doing of what God has taught us." Wiersbe, Prayer: Basic Training
