I play the game Bloons 4.  I’ve been playing it for over a year now.  How slow am I to have just figured something out.  It’s ok to loose a few of my 200 lives if I set up certain elements first.

The Christian life is similar.  The target is holiness before the Lord.  But when we first come to Him, we find Him working on things we didn’t expect.  He begins the work within us in curious places.  And to our perception, we think something’s amiss.  We need His wisdom to hold on while He works that marvelous salvation He promises.

I encourage all who are struggling in their faith to hold on.  What you perceive as important may not be the focus of God at the time.  Just hold on!
