God Trains Us
Deuteronomy 8:5 The Voice
I want you to know in your hearts that the Eternal your God has been
training you just as a parent trains a child.
Often, as children, we don’t see the reason behind training, rules,
consequences, etc. The older we get, the more we understand.
Training prepares us for life. Life isn’t always fair, and it’s often quite
difficult. Training helps us to maneuver through those difficult times.
Can you imagine soldiers fighting a battle with no training? How do you
load the gun? How do you perfect your aim so that you hit the target? How
often do you need to clean your gun? What do you do if you are wounded and
stuck in the middle of nowhere?
God doesn’t leave us to flounder on our own. Instead, he trains us for
battle; spiritual battle.
Allow God to continue the training process. Communicate with Him.
Understanding is an important part of communication and learning. Ask Him
lots of questions and then listen for His answers.
Father, I submit myself to You and to Your training. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
