 "And Yeshua grew both in wisdom and in stature, gaining favor both with other people and with God"--Luke 2:52. The spirit is soul expressing itself in the body. The body has an enormous influence on the soul & the soul on the body. When the body's developing into womanhood or manhood, there's a sudden awakening of the soul to religious influences & it's always a dangerous time. What's looked upon as evidence of the grace of God at work is merely the opening up of the soul in the process of development. God never places any importance on that phase. Over & over again people have built up hope on the religious promise of boys and girls in their teens and after a while, it fades away & the unwise say, he, or she has backslidden. May God have mercy on the parents who develop precocity in a child! What happens physically in children who show amazing signs of wisdom is that they grey matter of the brain is being used as quickly as it is formed. Precocity is something that ought to be checked. We're apt to place our faith on the years when we're in the making, whereas lives ought to be allowed to develop along a right line to the point of reliability.
