SCIENCE IN THE MATHEMATICS OF YEAR NUMBERING - Heart of Wisdom Series 006
READ John 4:31-38
Psalms 90:12, KJV
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
Discovery is useless without application. Application is what utilises discovery. Until application, you'll only wish results, it won't jump on you. Application rather births results, even types that many and those who won't abide by the law of application will still like to see. Moses in the view of how Israel (that generation will soon begin to fall down dead one by one ) said, "teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." "Teaching" is God's duty to man. As I write now, I'm teaching you as an anointed so that you'll learn the inevitability of death even if you're young and so double up. I am God sent to cause realization to hit you. The revelation of that teaching that we're but mere mortals who will soon fleet away even if we'd spend a million years on earth must therefore dawn on us. We are nothing but a breath. A syllable that's pronounced at one puff of air. "Getting a heart of wisdom", however is ours to do. The discovery which comes from God showing you how your years are but fleeting will teach you sitting right, doing with all your might any thing your hand has found to do and going full length in the little while you have to live. No room for distraction or decentralization of focus. God will teach you through His preachers and those with this insight. After discovery of learning the danger of inevitability of death, continuing in sin, giving of your strength to women or frivolous things of life, you'll need to become born again and start living anew. You must let discovery have its effect on you or else, teaching you and the knowledge from such teaching would have been wasted.
In science, after following a particular process or step after step, they'll come to a discovery or a finding. Their findings are then used. That's application. That's why I titled this devotional "The Science of Application in the Mathematics of Year Numbering. "Applying" or "the effecting" of your discovery on yourself is what makes the process scientific. You discover how momentary life is, then you seek means to get the best out of life. It is process by process: one leading to the other. "Getting a heart of wisdom" there is not only receiving. It is putting down structures to ensure the revelation of not living a wasted life is actually ensured. It is to take action after discovery. So, it is a task to daily live out. There's no one who gets a heart of wisdom that goes to sleep. Like the Psalmist says, even if he has no man to put him in awareness of the proper ways to live, his reins will instruct him even in the night.
Psalms 16:7, KJV
"I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons."
You'll see him while a youth therefore achieve what only the aged could have accumulated or garnered by experience (but because he has been taught or has received counsel and has come to the discovery of how to live). He will be doing things by revelation which comes from having been secretly instructed. By the time he's becoming an aged himself, he has achieved already and would even be in a strait whether to leave to be with the Lord or stay. Just like God showed me, once the meat for which you're here on earth is done, you may leave. That's why Jesus said, "my meat is to do the will of He that sent me and to finish it (John 4:34). That's what he who has gotten a heart of wisdom only does. He focuses on his assignment or life's task and does away with all other chaffs and distractions in our world. While the disciples were busying themselves with physical meat or food, Jesus busied himself with harvesting of souls. He kept thinking and taking thought for that Samaritan woman and other souls beyond her. He was lost in the higher will even at the availability of food that comforts a weary soul (for we were earlier told that Jesus was wearied).
A heart of wisdom deals with action. Living in the now and utilizing it fully. That's why Jesus told His disciples, you said the harvest is four months time, behold the field is white (John 4:35). If that be, what's the white or ready harvest calling for? Today, show seriousness of application having learnt it is not the hearer that's blessed but the doers.
PRAYER: May this revelation of the inevitability of death cause a u-turn into spending my minutes to the fullest by giving all to God and humanity.
