And the Lord had another reason for letting these enemies stay. The Israelites needed to learn how to fight in war, just as their ancestors had done. Each new generation would have to learn by fighting. – Judges 3:2
There are some things you can learn by listening, and there others you can only learn by fighting.
Interactive learning, writing 3 screenplays in a row, figuring out how to clear $275,000 of debt within the next 90 days…All different instances of having to deal with all enemy that keeps hanging around.
One response is to give up and just accept life under the shadowy regime of that problem.
But when you understand that those enemies aren’t going to go away until you engage with them in the art of war…then that changes your posture and perspective of the situation.
Right now you’ve got the weapons, the strategy, the speed, the tenacity, the past experiences, the special something that will give you victory over the enemies in your life.
But the only way to discover what they are is by stepping onto the battlefield so you can learn…by fighting.
