THE SEED
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:17
Every Christian attends God’s Training School. (See Hebrews 12:8) Regarding God’s training school, there are some good news and some unpleasant news. Fortunately, no one fails the course (Phil. 1:6). God will complete any work in you that He has started. The bad news is that you cannot leave school before you pass away and you cannot graduate until then! The route becomes increasingly challenging if you attempt to leave. You were frequently taught that if you would accept Christ as your Savior, all of your issues would be resolved (impliedly instantaneously) and you would live a life devoid of hardship. Or perhaps someone promised you that you would live on a higher plane where troubles would just pass you by if you would walk in the victory Christ promises. Although it makes sense, that is not biblical. The Bible makes it abundantly plain that God uses adversity to mould us into more like Jesus, who gained obedience from the things He endured (Heb. 5:8). Although the process is lengthy and frequently painful, the result is worth it (Heb. 12:11). As God’s children, we must submit to God’s discipline, no matter how challenging it may seem. In order to develop and be prepared for good deeds, we should also strive to complete all the training that has been intended for us in its entirety.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, I surrender and yield my heart to Your discipline. May I never fail.
