Process. Rome wasn't built in a day. But perhaps it is better to use our God and creation of the world as a better catch phrase. You know, the world and the cosmos was not created in day. In fact, it was created in six days. The infinite and all powerful God who could have spoken the entire universe into existence in only one split second decided to take six days to create. And not only that, He also decided to rest on the 7th day. Amazing!! Why? Was he too weak? Did He not plan enough before he started making light? Did He not have a clear idea of what the finished product would be? No. Process is part of life. The journey and process is just as important as the final destination.
I like to apply this thought to my learning of the local language, Twi. Mastering the Twi language is not done in a day. It's not even done in a week or a month. Unfortunately, I will not learn the whole language before I leave Ghana. Depressing, right? No. God took six days to create when He didn't have to. He said each of the days were good. (Of course, the creation of humans was very good!!) He must be trying to tell me something: The process of learning the language isn't that bad after all. In fact, it just might be….good!!
