So many times we are focusing on the little problem that is in front of us, when God is looking at the big picture that is all around us. God will not use a man greatly until he's been bruised deeply. There are lessons we must learn . But that's not the best way to learn. The best way to learn is through experience.
Experience is the best teacher.
A college student reads and studies principles in his career, but he will learn ten times faster when he gets a job in the field and begins to put those principles in action. He begins to experience the things that he read about. A rookie basketball player in the NBA has been through years of good instruction by coaches to teach him basic fundamentals of the game. If he is going to be a champion, he must learn how to be a team player. He must learn how to shoot under pressure.
