(2 Peter 1:5-7 NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, {6} to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, {7} to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
Knowledge is a beautiful thing if handled correctly. It helps us to know what to do, how to handle situations that come our way and what we need to say at times. Taking the knowledge that God gives us and waiting on Him to show us what to do with it will cause us to learn self control, which is vital to the body of Christ.
We can have a great deal of knowledge, but if we can not deliver it the way God wants us to, or in His timing, it can and will hurt others, including ourselves.
When God gives us knowledge for our situation, or anyone else’s situation, the next step is to pray and wait on Him to show us what to do with it.That will build up that self control muscle.
Have you ever prayed for something or someone, and you knew that God gave you the answer, yet when you acted on what you felt God showed you it didn’t work, or it was not received by the person you shared it with?
This can happen if we are out of God’s timing when sharing knowledge He has given us.
Having self control over the things we receive from God will help us be more productive and see better results as we wait on Him. Let us build up that self control muscle today by waiting on His timing.
