Why do we keep repeating things that bring us pain? Why are we sometimes so reluctant to learn from the wisdom of others, telling ourselves that it is different for us or we can handle it better? The truth to both is that we think we are smarter than we are. People haven't changed as much as we believe they have over the last few thousand years. People are people, including us, and if we don't learn our lesson, we are doomed to repeat the same painful things repeatedly. Today, we will see how Paul tried to get the Corinthians to learn from the lessons of the exiles. God has always and will always provide a way out for you to stand under his Grace, but it will be your choice.
