UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 4:20,21
20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings,
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;

Joshua 1:8
8 “This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

One of our greatest failures is we think we know scripture. We don’t even begin to know scripture, until we have had our eyes opened. In some cases we have known a scripture and even said it for years. Comes the day in reading what we think we know, a light goes off, and finally the realization of what you are reading is suddenly before you as you have never seen it before.

There is a shell over scripture. A protective shell that the uncommitted cannot undo. They cannot get the true nectar of the word. Without an understanding from above we can read all we want. Nothing will be as it should until the veil from our eyes has been removed.

Say to yourself I am going to break the covering, I am going to meditate on God’s word, I am going to ask for an understanding on this one issue. Yes, one issue at a time. Picture the scripture, read it, pray over it. The freedom of understanding is not handed to just anyone. It is for those to seek to know, understand and have wisdom concerning the word of God.

It is for you, ask and you shall receive. Stay in the word, to not back down. The truth will come to you.

God Bless
