“Jesus Our Understanding”
by Dona Hake
Proverbs 8:14 (ESV)
“I have counsel and sound wisdom;
I have insight; I have strength.”
Jesus is so many things to us. I will review the many words that I have been bringing to you that tell of our wonderful Lord. He is our Counselor, our Sanctuary, our Light, He is called Wonderful, and He is our Rock. If you missed any of these devotionals covering these, I encourage you to scroll down and read them.
Have you ever had something that you did not quite understand, and it bothered you for you really wanted to feel to know what was going on in a particular situation. Maybe there is a scripture that bothers you because you do not feel you are totally receiving the depth of it’s meaning. There have been times in my life in which confusion came as a result of not understanding something. I believe that lack of understanding can be a tool of the enemy. It is probably his greatest opportunity to come as an angel of light making good look bad or bad look good. Our Lord desires to help us understand, and He will come along side of us and minister to our hearts the clarity that we need. When we seek to know more, and we ask Him to help us understand, He is faithful to help us. As we search His Word He will help us understand it and apply it to our lives.
In those times where things may seem to appear dark, cloudy, and difficult…know that He is well able to unfold to you what you need to know. He is able to bring to you the clarity that you need.
1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP)
” For who has known or understood the mind
(the counsels and purposes)
of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and
give Him knowledge? But we have the mind
of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts
(feelings and purposes) of His heart.”
Praise Him today that as we draw upon His understanding we are walking in deeper realms holding the thoughts, feelings and purposes of His heart!
