[The Glory Unveiled]
Desire without knowledge is not good—how much more will hasty feet miss the way! ( Proverbs 19:2 )
Zeal [desire] is very good, but what is not good is having zeal or desire without adequate [corresponding] knowledge. The problem with desire without knowledge is that it draws men from the path of their assignment and ordination. Desire without knowledge keeps us busy doing what the curriculum of our existence does not capture; in this case such activities are not even qualified to fall within the hidden or extra curricular sessions. What zeal without knowledge drives us to do is just exhaustion of spirit and soul. We get ourselves busy doing almost everything at the same time. We lack a sense of direction and purpose. We are better defined by the statement, “jack of all trades, master of none”. Desire without knowledge typically does what the second part of our scripture reference says; the feet of a man with desire without knowledge is hasty. And the resulting effect is that such people miss the way. They miss their true kingdom north that should lead them to relevance and stature. In addition to zeal and desire, may we add knowledge so that there will be a balance and control on our desires.
Prayer_Bead: Father of all spirits, thank you for the desire you have placed in me for your work, guide me through knowledge not to miss my path.
