What We Do With What We Know
Matthew 7:24a (NLT) “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise,...”

What is good advice? I think of good advice as being sound wisdom that works when you use it in advance to prevent a disappointing outcome from occurring. The key to the effectiveness of good advice is the very key we need to use when we hear and understand the teachings of Jesus. We have to put aside our fleshly plans of action and follow what Jesus teaches us to do - with no exceptions! The Word – the wise teachings of Jesus – are not a backup tactic for us to use after we’ve attempted to do
life our way! No! Jesus is the way, and His teachings are what we have to help us maneuver through the tests and trials that will come to distract us from following Him! What we do with what we know makes all the difference between walking in the light of Christ or walking in the darkness of the world.
Amen.
