Information creates knowledge systems. Hosea a prophet of old in his book writes about the absence of knowledge; “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4 part of v6. Simply put, ignorance creates crisis while on the other hand, information settles crisis. It is vitally important to keep up with current events. Watch. Listen. Observe. Ask questions and analyze what happens around you. Open your eyes and become aware.

When General Colin Powell was the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, he was known for how carefully he prepared for battle. He would order satellite photos, send out scouting patrols, and collect intelligence information available before deciding where, or whether, to attack. According to the esteemed General, “collect all the data you can, and if uncertain don’t make the decision until you must”.
