READ: Psalms 32:8-10
“Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.” Psalms 32:9
You must be hard on someone who lacks understanding. A person who lacks understanding is stubborn. A person who lacks understanding is slow to turn and slow to yield. A person who lacks understanding cannot be spoken to gently. He understands nothing. Do not invite him for an executive meeting. He will not fit in. He is of a different cut. He must be forced to comply and brought into subjection.
In my work as a leader, I have encountered many people who lack understanding. They just have to be told what to do.
You cannot leave anything to chance when you are dealing with someone who lacks understanding. A man that lacks understanding is like a horse or a mule that must be controlled. He must be controlled with force and strength because he will not understand what he must do.
You cannot explain a concept or a vision to a man without understanding and expect him to know what to do. He needs clear instructions to be able to do well. A man who lacks understanding is not necessarily an evil person. He works best with commands, instructions and strong directives. You cannot expect a man who lacks understanding to know what to do. You must always ask yourself whom you are dealing with. Is this a person who needs commands or is this a person whom you can leave to work things out? A man without understanding must be given hard commands and instructions.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Psalms 32:9
