Ps. 149, 150; Proverbs 1-3 [The Message]

Eugene Peterson paraphrases that God’s voice is in everything you do. You might hear, “NEVER do that again,” or, “YES, this is the best path for your life.”

Life teaches us many lessons. The wise man is always trying to discern the truth or message in all of life’s activities. In that sense, your bad experiences can be teachers, preparing you for the future. It’s called the “Empirical method of learning.” Failure becomes your teacher.

Where do you get good judgement? From bad.
