Proverbs 12:27
The lazy man does not roast his game, but the diligent man prizes his possessions.

You’ve got to give the lazy guy in this Proverb a little credit.  At least he took the initiative and went hunting.  He even killed something in the process.  But apparently, he stopped short.  What good is it to kill an animal if you’re not going to cook it and eat it?

Many of us succeed in obtaining information and knowledge, but we fail in applying and utilizing it.  In other words, we make the kill but don’t roast our game.

What good is it to attend another conference if you’re not going to make a major ministry decision based on the wisdom you collect?

What good is it to read the Bible or hear a sermon if you’re just going to let it sit in the same notebook as the last sermon you heard and did nothing about?

What good is it to ask for advice from a trusted friend if you’re not willing to put it into practice unless, of course, she gives you the advice that lines up with the decision you already determined to make anyway?

What good is making the kill if you’re not willing to roast your game?
