For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. Genuine pearls and diamonds are not practical for those who deal in the five and dime stuff. Depth is not practical for the shallow, neither wisdom for the fools.
Meat is also very impractical for babes.
Humble yourself before God and allow Him to reveal to you your poverty and nakedness, your practice may be very poor in caliber. Don't confuse practicality by confining it to the shallow and the cheap and the chewed- up. Mediocrity is not the only practical path, it is only the practical path for the mediocre.
