tell, show, do, review

The basic training formula in the restaurant business is tell, show, do, review.  First you tell them how, then you show them, then you have them do it, and then you review it with them.This last review is usually having them train you as if you were the new employee.  If someone masters the concept enough to teach or train others, then you are confident they understand.
Trails are tough lessons to learn.  James 2:2-4 tells us to "Consider it all joy when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  And let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
God tells us what to do when we face trials and lack peace (Be still and KNOW that I am God).  Jesus shows us how to respond (Love, trust, remain obedient).  And now He asks us to do it.  Do what you ask?  LET endurance have its perfect work.  That's right, stay right there in the trial and dwell in the presence of our Lord.  He won't let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, so don't try to escape every trial.
God wants to perfect and complete you, so you are able to train and teach others who may be going through the same thing.
Thank God for trials and set your eyes on the harvest of righteousness and peace to come.
