Reading – Proverbs 19

Highlight Verse:

“Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When we bought our house, it had terrible green fake grass flooring in the sunroom.

I installed some really nice-looking flooring after fixing a sagging spot.

It looked great –

For maybe six months.

It buckled. It faded.

Eventually it sagged again.

My knowledge of flooring exposed to the weather was too limited.

I’ve since done more research and gotten more experience and will eventually fix it correctly.

For now, there’s a rug that covers the worst areas.

My enthusiasm outran my knowledge.

Today, Palm Sunday, we celebrate the triumphant entry. The people there were very enthusiastic.

But their knowledge was limited.

Don’t get me wrong. They had great reasons to celebrate.

But when Jesus didn’t conform to their preconceived expectations, they turned against Him with equal enthusiasm only days later.

I believe we should worship with great enthusiasm regardless of our level of knowledge about Jesus.

At the same time, we should seek greater knowledge about Jesus.

That way we can remain strong in our faith even when people try to turn us away from Him.

How do you seek knowledge of Jesus?
Are you prepared to worship enthusiastically today?
