I once watched a YouTube video on how to change an alternator on a Hyundai Sonata. At the end of the video, I had the facts of how to change an alternator. Wisdom was taking it to a mechanic so they would change it!
I've read books on prayer. Does that mean I know how to pray?
I love this short section on wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. It's not enough just to know something, and even when you understand it, there are levels beyond that. To follow God is a lifetime's worth of discipleship -- it doesn't come easily, and you won't figure it out just by reading someone else's description of it. You have to do it, and in the doing of it, in the living of faith, you discover the path along the way. Having an abundance of counselors is prudent -- we surround ourselves with a community of faith -- it is my prayer that people return to the churches once this pandemic is over, that we may continue to strengthen one another as a community.
Don't be disappointed if you haven't completed and furnished the house while you are young in the faith. It is a long journey, filled with stepping stones and traveling companions, and even when you've been on the road for decades, there are many more steps still to go.
