GET UNDERSTANDING
Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
Daniel 12:8
A lot of people can read and hear messages, however, not
everybody understands. You have to make sure that you understand what you read
and what you hear.
Understanding will cause you to act upon the Word; it will
give you practical wisdom. Understanding will cause you to produce results and
it will get you to the desired end.
We should get wisdom and understanding not just wisdom. When
you go for the Word, you are going for wisdom. However, you must also go for
understanding.
Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget nor turn away
from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 4:5
1. Be
prayerful
The Word and prayer go together. When you pray you speak to
God and when you read the Word, God speaks to you. One does not go without the
other. You need both, The Word and the Spirit.
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to
pray and not loose heart.
Luke 18:1
2. Give the
Word your undivided attention
Pay attention to the Word; if you want to get the most out
of the Word, give it your undivided attention. Don’t multitask when you truly
want to read the Word, but focus.
My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my
sayings.
Proverbs 4:20
3. Read and
listen to the Word repeatedly
When you read and listen to the Word repeatedly you gain
understanding. You see and hear things that you might never have before. The
Word changes you as you read and listen to it repeatedly.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.
Romans 10:17
Thought of the day: I have to get wisdom and understanding.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I have the ability
to understand Your Word, thank You that as I pray, give Your Word my undivided
attention, read and listen to it repeatedly, I gain more understanding, in the
name of Jesus. Amen.
