Recently I had an opportunity to be among my
county’s finest citizens. There were three hundred of us crowded in
a room where we waited, and waited and waited together. Yes, our
time had come to serve as prospective jurors. I always find this as
an interesting time…I love to watch and listen and to learn.
The conversation going on behind me caught my ear
as a man and woman were discussing their collage children. The
gentleman (a doctor) was going on about his “A” student who was
continuing her education in getting her Master’s degree. While the
woman (also a professional) simply made this statement concerning
“her” daughter….”Its not that she is an outstanding student, but
it’s the “way” that she uses her information.”
I thought to myself, “what a profound statement”.
My thoughts quickly took me to God’s Word as I applied what I had
just heard. “Its not that I am a great Biblical Scholar, but it’s
“how I use my information.”
We are not all at the same place in our walk with
Jesus, and we should never think that we are not as spiritual as
someone else.
It’s not “how much knowledge we have about the
Bible, but instead it ’s “what we do with the information that we
have”!
How are “you” using the information that “you”
have?
