Me: Howdy, Prodigal! What is on the schedule for today?
Prodigal: I am trying to learn how to operate this machine. It is my first time driving it.
Me: There can be a learning curve when trying to learn new things. Let me share with you so it can encourage you with your time today at work.
A really good book to read is Charles Spurgeon a Joy in Christ’s Presence. I will share from that today.
The way to learn a truth thoroughly is to learn it by experience, and the way to learn more is to use what you know. Out of all those who are sure of the truth of our holy faith, none are as certain as those who feel its divine power upon themselves. You may reason yourself into a belief of the Gospel, and you may, by further reasoning, keep a strict religious code; but a personal trial and an inward knowledge of the truth are incomparably the best evidences.
Now is the time to remember the truth that the Lord has taught you from your personal trial. What has been the best teacher. Jesus. What has been my test? my trial. Now take time to remember the process. To remember the protection of our Lord. To remember His love. To remember that HE is for us!
Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
