Topic: EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Biblical Text: ‘Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon, and my servants shall be with thy servants and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians’. [1 Kings 5:6]
A ship engine failed and no one could fix it, so they brought in a mechanical engineer with 40 years of experience. He inspected the engine very carefully top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something, instantly the engine burst back into life. The engine was fixed! Seven days later he sent the owner a bill of $ 10,000. What? The owner said, you hardly did anything, send us an itemized bill. The itemized bill from the engineer simply read, Tapping with the hammer. $2, Knowing where to tap. $9,998. Dont ever underestimate experience. Experience is valuable knowledge gathered over years in the course of learning. Experience enhances success in a particular field. Medical doctors are required to gather relevant knowledge over a considerable number of years before they are referred to as a consultant. To get experience, you must be willing to learn with humility under the mentorship of a God directed person. Do not be like Gehazi who was not willing to learn with humility thereby making the glorious plan of God for his life to be truncated.
KNOW IT ∞ Experience is the best teacher, get it!
READ IT ∞ Exodus 3:3, Romans 5:3, Genesis 30:27
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the patience to learn with humility so as to get experience
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 1 Samuel 11-13
