Are you a flexible person—one who is willing to learn, to have new experiences, to try new ways, to think different thoughts? The dead, brittle limbs on a tree often break during a storm. People with unbending attitudes—hardness of heart—will find themselves subject to many problems. Those who think they know it all are destined for difficulties. To be inflexible and unwilling to grow gives us no way to learn except the hard way.
Ask God for greater understanding and insight. Quite often you will find that the ideas you receive are unconventional—different from what you could have imagined. Your willingness to be taught of God assures your continued spiritual growth. Wonderful things will come to you when you have a flexible attitude.
