Ø
The difference between a success and a failure
is that whereas the former invests his time, the latter wastes his.
Ø
Time is an asset of equality, everyone has
twenty-four hours daily.
Ø
What must be done is to crave out time to engage
your mind in meditation.
Ø
Separate yourself to seek and intermeddle with
all wisdom; it will result in a sharp mind.
Ø
Isaac, for instance, who became a marvel to the
Philistines, was known to separate himself to think through issues:
Ø
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were
coming (Genesis 24:64).
Ø
Later, he planted seed in the time of famine and
it yielded hundredfold results.
Ø
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in
the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. (Genesis 26:12).He must
have engaged a unique approach to it.
Ø
In addition to separation, is the need to create
a quiet environment. The effect of Isaac’s ingenuity is still being felt in the
Nation of Israel today. Formerly a desert place, it is now a blossoming garden
exporting food all year round!
Ø
If you desire wisdom, then you require
separation.
Ø
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your
own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; (I
Thessalonians 4:11)
Ø
Quietness enhances the quality of thinking.
Ø
When the Jews caught a woman in adultery and
asked Jesus, “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
but what sayest thou?” (John 8:5), Jesus stooped down and began to write on the
ground as if He didn’t hear them.
Ø
I believe in His meditation, He thought, “If I
say don’t kill her, these men will stone me because everyone accepts Moses as a
mighty prophet.
Ø
But to say stone her is unthinkable. What do I
say?” In His quietness, Jesus located a solution and said, ...He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her ( John 8:7).
Ø
Quietness enhances productive reasoning!
