Join me on my morning walk as we rise and shine together by walking through the Bible daily and learn a practical applicable coaching nugget from the ultimate life coach - our creator (whatever that means to you). No judgement zone here, all are welcome, we are all on a spiritual journey because we are after all spiritual beings having a human experience.

 

📝 Reflection 

 Hosea 14: 9

Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.

 

I have to admit right off the bat that the title for my reflection today came from my own reaction to reading Hosea. It seemed repetitive within the book itself and also, just the same story told differently and repeatedly in the Old Testament. As I was thinking about repetition and human learning it is a necessary aspect. As much as we like to convince ourselves that we can just hear, see, think something once and ‘get it’, that is just not how it works. 

Things take repetition, practice, more practice, repetition and time before we really get it. Think back to learning to walk, or maybe you can’t remember, but you can think back to your kids or other children you have seen in the process of learning. It takes a lot of observation, practice, falling, getting back up and then finally it ‘clicks’, but even then it takes a lot more practice to get on ‘auto pilot’ with it. There is a lot of stumbling and falling in the learning process. 

As adults we are no different and yet, we think we are. We want to change our behaviors  instantly and easily, just because we decide and think we should ‘know better’. Yep- nope, not how it works. Even when we ‘repent’ and start walking on the ‘right’ path, we will stumble and fall. The temptation and old habitual ways of being will tell you to that you can’t do it, it’s to hard, just go back on the old path. Trail hopping will only drag out, confuse and make the process of learning to walk without stumbling on the new path harder, take longer and never feel ‘solid’. 

Stick with it, do it anyway and I promise with enough repetition, practice and time you will ‘get it’ and it will ‘get you’ right back. Trust the process, trust your desire and your heart to want to change, it knows it is possible and it will just haunt you if you don’t honor it and pay attention! Walking on one path and knowing where it is taking you when you have had a vision and a desire to go down a different path and where it can take you is awful, painful and toxic.
