We all know the importance of getting into the Word as often as possible. It gives us life. It brings hope through understanding. It's an encounter with the God we serve. It's the book God wrote.
But what's the use of the Word of God if it's not being spoken? If we are taking in wisdom and understanding shouldn't we, just as easily, be pouring it out? What is wisdom if it isn't shared? God smacked me in the face with this one last night. Am I pouring out enough? Are any of us pouring out enough? The answer is no. God should be speaking through us at all times, whether it's an intelligent philosophical conversation between friends or just loving small talk between acquaintances. This is wisdom. Wisdom is imparted to us by God! Why shouldn't we be the branches of his tree?
This significantly changed the way I read my Bible last night. It's all wisdom and knowledge meant to be poured out! All of it!

BAM! Preach it brotha. So true... what's the good in us gathering wisdom and knowledge if it's not put to use? What's the good of us being transformed by the renewing of our minds if we don't live it out? When Jesus was the Word incarnate He embodied LOVE to everyone around Him, and it's our turn to do the same!
