After three years’ training they were to enter the king’s service.
- Daniel 1:5 (NAB)
Untrained.
Wild, weepy, blows with the wind. Decorative, beautiful perhaps, but not particularly useful.
Trained.
Dependable, solid, unified, decorative, interesting, helpful;
serves a practical purpose.
Prayer
Lord, please guide and train me little by little so that I can be the most useful to Your kingdom.
Quote
"No one is suddenly made perfect." //St. Bede the Venerable
Reflection
Is there an area of your life that feels cut back and perhaps restricted? Maybe God wants to use that area for a special purpose. It could take some years. Be patient amidst the pruning process.
