Bridges nugget

Well here I am for the 2nd post this year, just want to keep you guys on your toes, the element of surprise and all that.
I'm currently forming my own personal Jerry Bridges appreciation society [...further perpetuated by my buying which ever book Simon has reduced each time I'm in inspire ...and Simon when you are doing your annual check of this blog you can note that I do buy stuff, you are never around] so just thought I would share the odd note of interest.
I understand they may not seem so amazing when they are read in isolation, just thought there maybe something useful to ponder.
He is taking a few pages to describe the importance of putting scripture into practice in your life.

All of life should be a theater (or theatre, depending on which side of the pond you learnt to spell on) in which we learn to apply the Word of God. Almost every event, every activity, every circumstance may be or should be an occasion of applying a spiritual principle or even a specific verse to the situation.
He then goes on to give examples of this...and me being the nerd appreciated his final illustration...
Most of us had labs in either high school or college where we were supposed to learn to apply theories we were learning in the classroom. The cicrumstances of life are our 'spiritual labs' where we learn to apply what we are being taught in the 'classroom' of the Bible.

Unfortunately this analogy resonates with me... at school i hated labs, prefered the classroom. And Jerry hits the nail on the head...I need to use lessons from the classroom in labs, and do better at labs, stop hiding away in the classroom. May the holy spirit give us opportunities to apply scripture to real life, and help us to see the lessons in the classroom and know how to handle the labs.
