If I knew then what I know now.....

How often have we heard the saying "If I knew then what I know now?" Innumerable I'm certain. Unfortunately, that's a futile thought. So how can one make better usage of the knowledge they have NOW that they didn't possess in times past? APPLICATION and SHARING. James instructs us "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." (1:22) Take what you know and apply it then teach it to those who are in the proceeding generation. Too often we hoard information and knowledge and understanding not understanding the plan and intent of God. His truth endures from generation to generation and thusly must be shared. Take your knowledge, take your understanding, take your experience and share them. Jesus said "it is more blessed to Give than to Receive." (Acts 20:35)
