Blessing doesn't come from knowing; it comes from doing what we know. When God teaches you something, do you act on it right away? What do you know but are not doing? What resources might God be providing to help you do what you know?
"Do your planning and prepare your fields
before building your house"
In an agrarian society, to "prepare your fields" meant securing your source of provision. You would do this before building your house, providing shelter and a home base. The economic security comes before the emotional gratification. What might this mean on a practical level? What about using your discretionary income not to improve your lifestyle but to invest wisely so that the investment produces income? Or it might mean getting out of debt before making extra purchases. Are you making sure that you have a stable economic base before you enjoy the comforts—and even the smaller necessities—of life?
