“Man's greatness consists in his ability to do
and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done.” -Frederick Douglass
This past semester I taught my first college course and my
students taught me as much as I taught them. I learned that I can teach my heart out and plant seeds in
hopes that they’ll grow, but it’s just as much their duty to make those seeds
grow and apply what they know. Tests
reveal what they know! Similarly,
we can listen to sermons and read the Bible all day (having all of the
knowledge in the world about God), but it’s only when we apply what we know
that we actually grow. Every test
that you go through is one that you can grow too.
I pray that from his
glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through
his Spirit (Ephesians 3:16, NLT).
