For giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young…(Proverbs 1:4)
Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding. (Proverbs 9:6)
I don’t have common sense. I have the struggle that millions of people in the world have: no differerence between knowledge and common sense. Knowledge can be obtained by books and learning; common sense is obtained by things that are -well, you know it!- common. I have gone myself into the same troubles over and over again because of my lack of this. I may be innocent, but I can be a shmeggegie in things of common role!
But woe is me, shredding myself to pieces when I can do something about this! Yeah! Just run to Christ and say, “Cover where I fail”, that prayer when I realize I’m stupid enough to do anything I want to. I guess I need to pray more for wisdom, and find it in the Word. Though the Bible is unchecked with many answers to daily life, at least Jesus is glorified through my weaknesses. I imagine this one is part of it.
I’ll pray to God to be more alert, more opened, more… commonsensible and act like I know He’ll be glorified in doing!
