*NO ROOM FOR IGNORANCE.*
_The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge (Proverbs 18:15 NKJV)._
Beautiful evening.
There is a phrase which Apostle Paul repeated in a number of his letters. Although, he used this phrase in relation to different issues, I believe there is a lesson we can learn from what Paul must have had in mind at the time of his writing:
_Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant (1 Cor. 12:1)._
_But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope (1 Thess. 4:13)._
_For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in (Romans 11:25)._
We see clearly that Paul did not want his readers to be ignorant because he recognised that their actions will result from what they knew. Whether it was in relation to spiritual gifts or the glory that awaits believers after death, Paul wanted his readers to have knowledge. Paul knew and we must know that we think and speak according to what we know. So, if we want to improve the quality of our lives, we should pay attention to what we know. In every phase of our lives and in every season, we should be aggressive about acquiring knowledge.
*Pray by faith with me thus:* "Lord, help me to connect with the resources that will help me to become all that you have created me to be."
*Keypoint:* We think and speak according to what we know.
