Bible Study: The Purpose Driven Life, Chapter 28: It Takes Time
There are no shortcuts to maturity.
Why does it take so long?
We are slow learners. We often have to relearn a lesson forty or fifty time to really get it. The problems keep recurring, and we think, “Not again! I’ve already learned that!” – but God knows better. The history of Israel illustrates how quickly we forget the lessons God teaches us and how soon we revert to out old patterns of behavior. We need repeated exposure.
We have a lot to unlearn.
We are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves.
Growth is often painful and scary.
Habits take time to develop.
Don’t get in a hurry.
Believe God is working in your life even when you don’t feel it.
Keep a notebook or journal of lessons learned.
Be patient with God and with yourself.
Don’t get discouraged.

Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 3-4. Chapter 4 is Moses telling the Israelites how God wants them to worship him and him alone beginning, like, yesterday and especially when they get to the Promised Land b/c if they don’t, he’s gonna kick them back out and scatter them across the nations. Which, well, happened. What is interesting about this chapter is how prophetic it is, even up to the tribulation and how Israel was to suffer during that time as well.
