People may choose what & where to be taught. But decision on curriculum and the manner in which lessons are delivered are often beyond their control. So they decide to be molded, graded and awarded according to the institute’s principle. In a similar vein, when we choose God’s schooling, we are left to the mercy of the Dean of all schools, Jesus. His campus is as large as His influence.
His timing has no limits engaging with us consciously (intelligibly) and subconsciously (like in dreams). The “gentle and humble” teacher is human-centered. A lifetime tutor to the eager, not only does He train us, He also sits with us at every possible test. Take heart & be courageous at every bit of His curriculum. “Who…is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him”
