In Need Of... Multiplication?

I was thinking... Is there ever a time in your life when you are sitting there praying or reading your Bible or just SITTING and thinking... "I feel like God just flunked me on an exam"? I kinda got that feeling today... Probably because I didn't study for the test... (haha... just like me)

I was thinking... God can't just let you skip a level with Him. The same way we couldn't skip learning simple multiplication and then try to learn long division... God has a curriculum! It is specific to each person! He is much more organized than any school system, but it feels kinda the same...

We have to learn things in a logical order... Otherwise we will be missing fundamental knowledge... And God has refresher courses, too... He does REVIEW. Once He teaches us something, He will NOT let us forget! He keeps sending circumstances that require us to remember the old things we learned... (So you started learning spelling in what... grade 1?? Did you ever use that knowledge again?) And as time goes by, He expands on what He taught us when we were in our "spiritual kindergarten" (Did you stop learning spelling once you had mastered the words "it", "one", or "cat"? Did you stop learning to speak once you said "mama"?)

Romans 1:17 (KJV) -- For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
