Dig For It!

There is an old saying;

"When I was in elementary school the teacher walked around to each desk and placed the knowledge on our desk, when I was in high school the teacher place the knowledge in a jar and we came to take it out and when I was in college the teacher threw the knowledge on the floor and I had to lick it up."

When we make learning too easy, the students become lazy, we need to challenge students to higher goals to motivate and stretch them, in other words, "no pain no gain."

It's true of other life experiences too, if we do not stretch ones spiritual walk through challenge, no one would grow. When we require no consequences for choices we leave behind us a limp, lazy and unproductive group of people who get too old to change and hostile when anything is expected of them.

There are a passel of verses to go with these concepts, one only has to dig a little for them.
