January 20 The Lesson May be a Test
Sometimes, problems
and challenges come to move us to the next place in our lives.
Sometimes, they come to challenge and reinforce what we already know
and believe.
Maybe that problem in your life has come along to teach you something new.
Maybe it’s an opportunity to remember and practice what you already know to be true.
Push against that problem. Push your
ideals and beliefs against what’s going on. Examine what you think,
believe, and feel. Stay open to change. But remember that, sometimes,
it’s not about changing what you believe. It’s an opportunity for you to
validate yourself and your beliefs.
We’re not always learning something new. Sometimes, the lesson is to remember and trust what we already know.
God, help me to be open to change; help me also to stand fast by my beliefs when they are right.
