Just as we go to school to be trained, God
also enrolls us in His training program.
God had great plans for Joseph, the favorite
son of Jacob. But he was a small Jewish boy who only knew how to run errands. To prepare him, God had to let him go through
crises until he got to the very place God had plan for him.
Just as we enroll in a school in order to prepare
ourselves for opportunities, God also enrolls us in His school. In our schools,
we pay money but in God’s school, the cost is patience.
In the same way that our skills were tested
by our teachers, God also allows life to test our character, before He promotes
us (Psalm 105:17; Genesis 45:7).
