Journey in Life
Knowing God and knowing truths from the Bible are just like studying a difficult course at school. At first, you don’t know what you don’t know. As you begin to read the Bible and pray, God begins to teach you—from the Bible, but also from a good preacher or Christian friend. For example: when I was new to Christianity, I worked in a pastor’s office to help out. I did some of the financial records and saw that some people actually tithed! On the church bulletin I saw the phrase “Tithes and Offerings.” I thought it was just a cute way of putting it. I had no idea that anyone in this day and age actually tithed. I also went to a prayer meeting. People took turns praying spontaneously. In the church where I grew up even the pastor read the prayers. I think reading the Proverbs over and over teaches you good moral principles. It is a lifelong process of staying close to God in trying to be obedient. He will bring helpful experiences or truth to you.
