But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,”

I was led to this scripture this morning; it literally popped into my head a piece at a time. The scripture itself seems pretty self-explanatory – “continue in what you have learned,” but I know there is deeper meaning meant specifically for me.

God is telling me what I should already recognize on my own; I am not “continuing” or “doing” what I already “know.” He has already taught me what I need to know for where I am in my life, and lately I haven’t been following.

It is important for me to remember that it is impossible to learn more complex things until one masters the basics. It’s time for me to live what I already know.
