My daughter was watching a Children's DVD she obviously wasn't enjoying much but was managing. We decided to change the DVD to a Barney DVD that she would obviously enjoy. While changing the DVD, my daughter began to throw a tantrum because what she was watching (which she wasn't even enjoying) was stopped. It didn't matter that there was something more enjoyable and pleasurable ahead. All she could see and react to was the present discomfort. Now that Barney is playing, the discomfort and tantrum of a few minutes ago have been forgotten.
Many of us are just like her. We find ourselves with a
situation we're really managing and we're praying to God to move us to the
"next level".
When the "tests" that we need to pass to get to
the next level come, instead of writing our test/exam, we're going from pillar
to post doing all we can to resist the test when we should really be writing
the "test".
"But He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath
tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Job 23:10
Enjoy your day.
