Nobody can pretend ignorance in order to excuse their sins (part 22):


  • “Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.” (Proverbs 8:32,33).


So, once the wisdom is crying in every place and in every circumstance, nobody have an excuse to make mistakes, let alone blunders.



Regrettably, when we long for something, our lean is to take down all the instruction and act as Eve: leaded by the sight of the eyes and of the imagination (Gen 3:6).


If we crave for being savvy, we need to keep all the ways of the wisdom (and not only what pleases us). We can’t make the same blunder that the Pharisees (to concern about picayune things and look down on the chief things of the kingdom of the Creator – Matthew 23:23,24); but, we can’t worry about only what is great before men.


Recall that the great things are constituted of the small ones and what makes an artist different from the other is his ability and patience of work the details.


Furthermore, see what James said:


  • “For whoever shall keep the whole Law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” (Jas 2:10).


So, have a good day being careful about the perfume of Christ in your life (2Cor 2:14-16): a dead flies cause the perfumer's ointment to stink and ferment (Ecc 10:1).
