"Application, Not Memorization"

When I was younger I used to be impressed with the fact that someone could commit vast amounts of "Things" to memory and at any point in time could quote them with extreme randomness and what appeared to be expert proficiency. That was in my youth......

......As a mature adult, I find myself no longer easily impressed with those random acts and only give a second glance should that randomness be surrounded by "acts of kindness" that seek nothing in return.

As my FAITH grows, I continue to find myself paying CLOSER attention, moreso than ever before, to not just what has been committed to one's memory bank in the form of MEMORIZATION, but what is being APPLIED to their lives in the form of APPLICATION!

You see it is LESS of what you TALK about and MORE of how you WALK about! Whatever a person has committed to memory serves as ZERO purpose if the sole accomplishment was memorization.

But it is THOSE that have chosen to take that life lesson, commit it to memory, APPLY it to their lives in visual illustration of themselves and in worldly demonstration to others in order to become a tangible example for others to bare witness that it is indeed "Application, Not Memorization" that makes a difference, the ONLY difference in Life, Love, Faith, GOD, Family, Friends, Eternity and ultimately, HAPPINESS.

Quotes of scripture and knowledge of the Word does not equate to a mastery of either. That "mastery" truly makes its presence known when it has been applied to real life situations and not just "pulpit preachings" that sound good, look good and artificially feel good.

Whatever sounded good, that IS good, embrace it and become one with it! Whatever looks good, that IS good, embrace it and become one with it!

Perhaps that artificial feeling that you felt was just a lack thereof, of the greatest teacher in the world, EXPERIENCE. Once you obtain it and see that it IS good, embrace IT and become one with it as well.

The "Application, Not Memorization" will always continue to impress me due to the fact that through precious Prayer, repetitive thought and habitual ACTION, making it happen will become just as subtle and as easy as committing things to memory.

How you WALK about should truly be reflective of how you TALK about. Within the "Application, Not Memorization" is where we will find the truth of the matter, the fundamental layers that will provide us with all of the materials needed in which to build upon our foundation of Glory.

It is ALWAYS within the "Application, Not Memorization," where Victory awaits our arrival.

Be Blessed today and forevermore!
