"Part" vs. "Right"

If a builder refuses to place the first brick because it doesn't look like the finished house, he will never get a finished house.

And if the builder holds on to the brick, refuses to add another one to it, he'll only have that one brick: he will never move past it.

If we cling so tightly to yesterday's revelation alone, we will never allow ourselves to receive tomorrow's instruction. But at the same time, the fact that tomorrow's instruction looks like the opposite of today's word doesn't mean yesterday's word was a lie.

Knowing your A-B-C's is the most immature level of literacy. But the fact that it is immature doesn't make it incorrect. In fact, it's impossible to become literate without it.

Am I making sense?
Are you getting this?
The Wilderness was filled with food that fell from Heaven. The Promise Land was a place where they had to have faith & fight. It is THE SAME GOD who led THE SAME NATION into both.
Imagine if - because Moses, the great Moses, didn't make it into the Promise Land, Joshua now said, "Oh, that means God didn't send him."
No, imagine it.
Then how would he have been able to trust his own ability to hear from God for instructions for the Promise Land?

"All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us."
(Hebrews 11:39-40 NLT)

Even Jesus didn't do everything. He did in part and sent Holy Spirit to teach us the next levels, line upon line, precept upon precept. If we despise our previous journey of faith with God because we didn't get what we had imagined, we'd have no foundation to lay the next revelation on.

See: Your "part" knowledge is incredibly valuable. It is evidence of the history God is creating with you. Just because you've become deeper doesn't mean what you knew was foolish.
Without that "part" you can't get to the "full".
Don't despise your journey. You need it to move ahead.

There are so many ways to apply this truth! Please, what did this mean to you?
