Proverbs 13:23 KJV
Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
As much as a man may till and labor, and as much as he may produce, much of it is destroyed and cannot provide its designed benefit for want of judgment.
John Clarke said, "O, how much of the poverty of the poor arises from their own want of management! They have little or no economy, and no foresight. When they get any thing, they speedily spend it; and a feast and a famine make the chief varieties of their life.”[1]
And since we are all poor men and lack judgment in comparison to God, we are in constant want of God's wisdom. Even when we can see we have accomplished something for the Lord, how much more might we have done if we had only had
More of His wisdom
More of His direction
More of His guidance
There is no room in the Christian to decide he has arrived in the spiritual plane. We must constantly and always seek the wisdom and counsel of God. For only then will that we have tilled come to complete fruition.
