A Greek philosopher wanted to illustrate to his students that they must not only have knowledge but also a life changed by the truths he gave them. He said, “Sheep do not vomit up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten. They inwardly digest their food so that they can outwardly produce wool and milk. Likewise, do not show theorems to the unlearned, but rather show the actions produced by the theorems after they have been digested.”
As we continue our 40 Days of Fasting & Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough, I trust that we are allowing God to teach us some things. But let's digest what He gives us! Let's allow the Holy Spirit freedom to apply to our daily lives whatever God reveals to us. Learning something new is one thing; living it is quite another.
"Prove yourselves doers of the Word and not merely hearers who delude themselves" (James 1:22).
