The world doesn't care if you learn.
The world is just a series of events. The market crash. The difficult client. The flat tire.
We can wait around, hoping the world will teach us something. As if the circumstance itself is the professor.
It's not. The "wisdom of this world," as Paul wrote, is something else entirely.
There's a better way. A more faithful posture.
Don't wait to be taught. Choose to learn.
This is the shift. It's the difference between being a passive recipient and an active disciple.
The difficult client isn't teaching you patience. You are choosing to practice the fruit of the Spirit during the encounter.
The market crash isn't teaching you about trusting God. You are choosing to place your trust in Him, not in uncertain riches.
Wisdom isn't downloaded. It's sought. "Get wisdom," the Proverb says. It's a verb. An action.
The lesson is always there. In every email. Every interruption. Every "failure."
Not because the world put it there. But because God offers an opportunity for growth in all things.
When you choose to learn, you redeem the moment, however bad it was or is. You decide what it means. You participate in your own transformation, the renewing of your mind.
The world just happens. Learning... that's on you.
