John 14:26 says, “But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you.
Ever heard the story of the giant ship
engine that failed? The ship’s owners tried
one expert after another, but none of
them could figure out how to fix the
engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had
been fixing ships since he was a youngster.
He carried a large bag of tools with him,
and when he arrived, he immediately went
to work. He inspected the engine very
carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship’s owners were there,
watching this man, hoping he would know
what to do. After looking things over, the
old man reached into his bag and pulled
out a small hammer. He gently tapped
something. Instantly, the engine lurched
into life. He carefully put his hammer
away. The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill
from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
“What?” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly
did anything!” So they wrote the old man a
note saying, “Please send us an itemized
bill.”
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a
hammer ............ ......... .... $ 2.00
Knowing where to
tap ............ ......... ....... $ 9998.00
Effort is important, but knowing where to
make an effort in your life makes all the
difference. Life is more complex than the
ship engine. Only the Holy Spirit of God
can give us specific insight into what to do
at all times. Make Him your best friend
today and live an error-free life!
Have a wisdom-filled day and remain
blessed!
