Acts 12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

Did you know that the term “to wit” is nearly the only current form of wist? How many of you want to yawn right now? Boring!!! OK, yes, a little bit boring, so why do I bring this to your attention?

Things, especially people who once meant something, still hold knowledge and relevant understanding.

So many believers today shy away from the archaic language of the King James Version because there are so many out there that render a clearer meaning of words like wist. I get it, but I also get that the easy road doesn’t cause you to pause.

We live that fast pace life. There is so much to take in, we move on without having savored every bit of the experience in the now moment. We treat people that way. “Man I wish this guy would get to the point so that I can go.” We make people irrelevant when we do that. It is disrespectful and more to the point lacks grace and love.

Often times our bible reading is treated that very same way. “I’ve only got fifteen minutes to spare. Let’s see how many passages I can read.” Even if it’s an hour, what does it gain you in your relationship with God if you cannot see yourself and relevant aspects of your life in the Word because you have the cruise control set at 80?

Luke 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

Stop and smell the roses planted in faith.
