Knowledge is the knowing of something. Gained by seeing,
hearing, tasting, smelling. Once we know something, we always know it.
Wisdom is the acting upon that knowledge websters
Recently we had a scare when we learned that a heart condition that my son has has worsened. That made me think of the title of this article.
The dr told us why it happened. Due to over exertion. And we knew that it could. But my belief in God is so strong that we didn’t heed it. We did not use wisdom.
The word tells us that faith without action is useless and that if we have the faith of a mustard seed and if we pray and ask and say to this mountain to move that it will.
I have all of that. I have way more faith than a tiny mustard seed (or do I), I have prayed, and I have said for this mountain to get out of our way.
I did not restrict my son on what he could or could not do. I remember thinking and saying that My God was bigger than that.
Well when 9 mos later we go and find out that his condition has worsened, it was a wake up call.
Has my faith diminished, certainly not. I believe so much and long the hear the dr. say that his heart is totally normal.
What I do know is that I know how to slow the progression of this down. That God has given men gifts and talents to develop testing that we can know ahead of time how to live.
What I do know is that it is my responsibility (and Zach’s) to use the knowledge that we have been given.
Is there a place for belief and faith in the knowledge and wisdom. You bet there is. God has a plan that I certainly don’t know about. There are things for us to learn while we wait on the healing. I don’t know why he isn’t healed and has to walk the life changing path, and it is life changing. I just know that I know something today that I did not yesterday and I will use it while I still believe with all of my heart that he will be healed.
Faith without action is dead. Sometimes we have to take certain steps to receive the full healing.
and Hosea 4:6 says that many a man were destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. We are given things to know, let’s use wisdom to live the life God wants us to.
