The second look at this promise will focus on God’s methodologies; how He does what He does. God has promised to “teach” you. This reminds me of the little story I learned when I was studying education in college. In the story Mr. Smith came into the copy room and complained to the other teachers saying, “I taught and taught all day and the kids learned absolutely nothing.”
The point of the story is that there is a difference between talking and teaching. God has promised to teach, not just talk. Teaching is to cause one to learn by example or experience. Can you see the beauty in what He has promised? He will do what is necessary for you to learn and understand.
Part of learning is discovery. Just because God appears silent doesn’t mean He has left the room or isn’t teaching you. There are times in your education when God provides a safe situation for you to explore, experience and discover. Don’t fret. It is all part of the plan. You can be assured that God will provide an opportunity for you and Him to debrief.
In school you always hear the question, maybe you even asked it yourself, “When will we have to use this in real life?” When you get older it morphs into, “Why do I have to go through this?” The answer to your question is because it is part of your education. God knows what He is doing. The sooner you realize it, and start asking “How” instead of “Why” the sooner you will know the answer to both questions.
