A man who is not proficient at something has to work a hundred times harder than he who has learned his craft well. 

The saying is true and we all know its effect.  “I’d. Love to …  but I’m just not good at it.”  All the while, the one who has mastered it smiles inwardly.   There was once a time when he too knew nothing about the craft he has mastered.

See, we know this is true.  We admire the work of masters of their craft.  And we find ourselves looking for the masters when we need their kind of work done.

Now someone tell me why we tend to think this doesn’t apply to prayer, godliness, holiness, knowledge of God’s word, and living as solid Christian examples.

I have failed just like you.  So you can point at me and consider my failure.  But no amount of blaming will remove one ounce of truth from those words.   People can point at your failure.  But only you can reach toward mastering Christianity.  Once we have accepted what the Lord is offering, we will have become masters.

You think this is too grand a statement? Hear what Jesus said about this.   “Students are not greater than their teacher. But the student who is fully trained will become like the teacher.”  (Luke 6: 40)

Doubt my words.   But don’t doubt the words of The Master.

By His Grace
