“God Is Our Understanding”

counsel is mine

Think about all that God is to us.   We can look to Him as being the love of our life, He is Light, He is our Healer, He is our Provider…     I could share so many things that He is to us but today I want to share with you that He is our Understanding.   When all seems dark or something may seem confusing I want to encourage your heart today to look to Him as the one that is able to give you the understanding that you need.
 
 
The understanding of God is a wonderful thing yet we must first fear His Name and have a respect for it.   This is the beginning of His wisdom and understanding to be  given to us.   As we follow His guiding principles we will have good sense and be decisive.  I would like to share a scripture with you from Psalm 111:10.   The one translation from the Extended Bible says it simply, and that is “those who obey and do his orders have good understanding.”  I love the way this is worded simply because it calls God’s Word or His commands “his orders”.   Are there times that you feel you can pick and choose from His Word?   God desires that we embrace all of His truth and make it ours to obey that we may live a blessed life.    
 
 
Today, let us reverence the Lord in every way possible.    Lord, help us to be humble as we hear Your Word and read Your Word.   May we draw close to You that we may hear Your tender voice as You desire to instruct us in the way.   You are good, and may we see all of Your commands as  good and profitable in our walk with You that we may grow thereby.   In Jesus Name, amen!

Psalm 111:10  The Living Bible
How can men be wise? The only way to begin is by reverence for God. For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws. Praise his name forever.
