When you go into the world and do your best to do God's will, you keep making mistakes here and there and you learn form them. I believe that if we make a HUGE effort and take lots of time to learn every day, then we can prevent some of those failures from even happening, because we prepare for them before we encounter them, and even sort of predict them.
The less you learn in your quiet time, the more you have to make mistakes before you learn. Make an effort to learn and you will be blessed. What do you think?

Trials are going to come. We are tested and learning quickly certainly has advantages. As we grow in faith the trials still come but we can learn to glide almost effortlessly through them as we learn total dependence on the Master. What would tear me up in my own strength is a mere bump in the road when He is mt strength.

Nothing wrong with learning, but we never know what God is going to teach us next. God has His own way of teaching. The learning we do ourselves is nothing compared to God’s classroom. I believe God does a lot of teaching through pain and suffering. I can’t learn that way by myself.

Let us then embrace the cross and die to our old selves that the new man may emerge and give glory to God.
