Know what to do, do what you know
August 7, 2017
Financial gurus state that success requires two simple disciplines. Know what to do, do what you know. Example: Know what to do: save and invest. Do what you know: actually put money into savings investing it in profitable places. How easy it is to know and not act.
Spiritual discipline is similar: Know God. Obey God. Studying to know God is an excellent investment. Obeying when our passions fluctuate? Not so easy.
I can assure you that temptation is not the challenge of only the young. Vintage folks enter the wrong relationships. Spend money foolishly, and think more of self than others. I can also assure you that every time you exercise the discipline of doing what you know, you become stronger.
