The Law of Application

Knowing without doing is similar to having faith with no work. Our heads can be filled with so much knowledge but all that knowledge can still fail to go down “one foot” — from our head to our heart.

We need to make serious applications of what we have learned if we don’t want to get our heads filled with only knowledge. To understand the law of application means that we choose to implement, accomplish, finish, and to complete what we have learned.

We are living in an information age. We are barraged with data and information, but our retaining capability is less and less. Our ability to focus is less. Why? One of the reasons is the failure of application. You may religiously write down your notes, but when was the last time you went back and did a study on those notes? When was the last time you applied what you learned?

The best way to digest the word of God is to simply do it.

Our actions, relationships, and life-styles are based on our choices. We choose to do certain things and we cannot water down our bad choices and call it a mistake. Our choices will either lead us into issues or to good works. If you hang out with losers, negative people, and people with no faith, you will do things opposite of God. But if you hang out with winners, people that have a good attitude and great faith, you will grow and have a great life.

Stop whining or blaming the circumstances! Your past cannot determine your future, but what you choose today will determine where you’re going to be tomorrow.

“Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.  And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.” (2 Chron.31:20-21)

We need to learn to know how to get a hold of God. We need to learn the skill to ask, seek, and knock in the presence of God. We need to take time and to focus our energy on the things of God and be persistent. Some people are lazy. When they have a problem, they don’t want to work on it but expect others to solve it for them.

Your attitude will fix your altitude.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.  It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” (William Jennings Bryan)

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” (Deut.30:19)
