       And here, in the testing of our lives, in the experience of our lives, we are aware, or should be aware if we’ve been in the faith a long time, that our character is often developed by different life experiences. For some things, it seems that’s the only way that God can teach us. It would be nice if we could read the Bible and a couple Christian books and get everything we need for life out of them. But we realize that’s not how it works. Like with our careers, at our workplaces, we can be trained a good amount of things. It’s also true at work that a lot of things can only be learned through experience. We have to be hands on in order to get whatever it is—we have to be in the middle of it. That’s simply the way we really learn. The point in all of this is that God’s ways are the ways that really satisfy us. That’s how we actually come to enjoy our lives since we are doing things how God wants us to do them, and not the world’s way or in a duty-bound way.
