Do or do-do

When will you do what you keep thinking about doing? Repetitive thoughts are usually either leading's or temptations. If it’s good it’s probably God and is its evil it’s obviously not. And then there are just the general repetitive thoughts like, “I just keep thinking I need to check my oil” or “get the furnace ready for the winter.” Sometimes you ‘just don’t feel right’ or ‘have peace’ about a certain person or thing. That’s probably an indication that you need to do something about it, but what? Sometimes you don’t know, but it doesn’t matter what you don’t know the question is, “What do you know?” Focusing on the unknown is ignorant and useless, because you can only GO WITH WHAT YOU KNOW. Not that you can’t gain more knowledge, but you’ll never know more if you keep thinking about all the unknowns. Many times people get stuck in the stupefaction of saying or thinking, “I just don’t know what to do!” And they don’t know, and they don’t know… and it’s like the “song that doesn’t end” and “it just goes on and on my friend.”

This is the ignorance that does not end, it just goes on and on my friend, you started thinking it, not knowing what it was, and now it goes on and on forever just because… This is the ignorance that does not end…

And that’s a trap that will very surely hold you back. If all you think about is what you don’t know you might as well go rent a white room at the Insanity Inn.

If you’re led by the Almighty then it stands to reason that you generally know what you need to know when you need to know it. Don’t try to complicate it or super spiritualize it, just discern it and do it. The leading is usually so simple that you discount it because you’re looking for great things. But great things, like the Eiffel Tower for example are made up of many simple and small things. The Tower has 2,500,000 rivets holding 18,038 pieces all put together one by one. And so is your life, you can probably see the big picture but you’ll never accomplish it unless you’re persistent with all the little pieces. This is daily living and progress in made in the doing. Its many mini materials multiplied that make man monumental.

So do what you know and then you’ll know what to do, because you can’t get to step three until you do two.

James 1:22-25
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
NKJV

John 14:12
