Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom and instruction, and understanding (Proverbs 23:23).
All you have of Truth is what you understand of it – and what you understand you always demonstrate. It naturally follows from this that the only way to improve yourself and your conditions is to gain an increase in understanding. And the only way to gain an increase in understanding is to make practical use of the Truth you already know. Knowledge that you do not actually use is only intellectual knowledge and is barren, and even that fades out in time through lack of use.
You will never demonstrate or progress on mere theories that you have not put to the test. You will never demonstrate or grow spiritually on what is in a textbook or a lecture until you have begun to put such knowledge into practice. It is far better to have a thimbleful of spiritual knowledge and use it than to have a whole mountain of correct spiritual doctrine most of which you have never made work.
Spiritual knowledge and truth are like our muscles. We must use them or lose them. Just like our muscles, the more we use them in different situations, the stronger and more flexible they become. That is one of the reasons that we face challenges and obstacles in our lives. So we can build up our spiritual strength in overcoming them.
Let us today exercise our spiritual selves so that we may have the faith and understanding that transforms our lives. Then we can walk in the garden.
Spiritually working out,
