Tenure vs. Experience
Tenure in God
started for many early on in life, some were raised up in the church, or the
yellow school bus filled with mainly whites and some blacks, who we only knew
as Brother So-and-so; vacation bible school or underneath the apron of a Big
Momma aka Nana or Grandma.
However, everyone didn't get that kind of ingrained start in
life, or even indoctrinated, but does that weaken or lessen the Experience that any given person has in
God?
Tenure: is nothing more than time put in to something.
Experience: is having the skill
or knowledge that you get by doing something.
God is infinite and eternal – time really doesn't matter
much to him because he is both outside and inside of it. What I think that God is interested in, and
this is only my personal opinion; but I believe that he wants us to have an
experience in him. Only by and through experience we gain faith; ergo – without
faith it is impossible to please him.
I can be a long-standing friend of a personal trainer, but
if I don’t work out for myself, the length of our relationship will not cause
me to lose weight and to be in-shape – I have to work at it and become
knowledgeable about good eating habits and workout routines. Now coupled with skillful knowledge and tenure, success is guaranteed.
We get out of this life a reward of what we put into
it. We can live a long life, get all the
120 years that the Lord said that we can possibly have but live it short of
what he has for us. What’s the point of
living a fruitless, tenured life? God
wants us to experience life in him to the fullest.
