End Lesson

The Lord is teaching me about trust right now...again.  I have felt, in the past, that I had grasped the concept and learned what I needed to.  I thought I had conquered my mistrust, doubt and fears, but I now know that this must be an ongoing process with me.  Why can't I just get it?  It would be a lot easier for me that way.  Maybe God isn't concerned with what is easy for me. Maybe He would rather me submit myself repeatedly to Him, learning humility and trust on a regular basis.  I'm not complaining.  I'm thankful.  I'm thankful He cares enough to teach me, to correct me.  And I'm thankful that for me, the end lesson is always His sovereignty, forgiveness, and provision.  Everyday I need to choose to be deliberate in my trust, intentional in my belief.
Yeah, it's a process, but hopefully I'm learning.
