I
have greater wisdom than old men, because I obey your commands
Psalm
119:100 (Today’s English Version)
Understanding is a vital
key in learning. The human mind can receive unlimited amount of knowledge. Whether
this knowledge would be useful or not depends largely on understanding.
Sometime ago, I heard the
story of some men who were trying to push out a truck that got stuck under a
bridge because of its height. They did everything they could but no headway was
made. At the end, they concluded that part of the bridge had to be broken.
A young boy walked to the
spot and looked at everything that was happening. He approached a policeman
standing nearby and asked why it was taking the men so long to move the truck.
The policeman explained to
him that the men have tried everything
and that the only option left was for them to break part of the bridge. The boy looked at the men
again and asked why they did not deflate the tyres to create a little gap
between the bridge and the top of the truck so that the can push it away. That
innocent question eventually saved the day.
According to the Psalmist,
it is possible to know more than the revered gurus in any profession. Are you
planning to start a business, you can know more about it than those who have
started it several decades before you. How? Simple obedience to His word.
The Holy Spirit is the best
teacher one can ever have. He is ready to reveal to you that which still
confounds wise men if you are ready to obey. Are you ready to obey Him today?
This is really interesting. No body should be taken for granted
ReplyDeleteIt is strange to see how the learned are sometimes blind to reality.
