LACK OF KNOWLEDGE


My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge . . .
Hosea 4:6 (NKJV)


Gathered at a Class Reunion, a male classmate confided to a female classmate, "Back when we were in school, I had a crush on you."

Although the female already knew about this, she acted surprised.

Seriously "rapping" to her, he said, "If I had known then what I know now, Sweetie, I could have made you my girl."

Get the point?

Far too many of us live with similar if-I-had-known sentiments. Lack of knowledge is indeed a serious cause of stress. What we don't know can haunt us indefinitely, and ultimately, escalate our stresses.

People can claim "what we don't know won't hurt us" as much as they please, but it is not true. A great percentage of all our stresses stem from something we didn't know. Unexpected surprises have a way of stressing us in the twinkling of an eye.

Remember that old saying "Knowledge is key?" It's absolutely true! We need knowledge to have . . . to be . . . and to do all things . . . especially if we intend to reduce stress.



Peace I leave with you . . .

Good Sunday Morning to you Saundra Kay.

I love the picture you have on this post. Simply marvelous.

I do agree with you. Knowledge is a most divine and needed asset for life and especially for managing stress.

When we are stressed, we can be very unhappy. If we are unhappy, and don't know how to fix it, we must seek the knowledge on how to make things better for ourselves.

Have a splendid week.
