We don't seek wisdom because it's a good idea; we seek wisdom because we're dead if we don't.

I received this in a daily email from Ransomed Heart Ministries:

"God has given us all sorts of counsel and direction in his written Word; thank God, we have it written down in black and white. We would do well to be familiar with it, study it with all the intensity of the men who studied the maps of the Normandy coastline before they hit the beaches on D-Day. The more that wisdom enters our hearts, the more we will be able to trust our hearts in difficult situations. Notice that wisdom is not cramming our head with principles. It is developing a discerning heart."

John Eldridge, "Waking the Dead", Page 100.

We are in a battle - how prepared am I today to engage?
