Greetings sister saints!
I hope you're pressing on the narrow way after our Lord, today!
I'm sharing some scriptures on understanding today. I shared yesterday how Jesus made sure His disciples understood what He was teaching and so it is important we understand the truth also the best we can with His help.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.Matthew 13:23
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.Mark 7:14-15
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,Luke 24:45
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.Psalm 111:10
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.Psalm 119:104
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.Psalm 119:125
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:3-6
There's so many more scriptures on it but we know the Lord is the source of true wisdom and knowledge!
I came across this scripture today too and we know it is talking about our Saviour. Indeed He was a man of sorrows.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.Psalm 69:20-21
And yet many today have made Him into a partying 'friend of sinners' which is such a lie. Let us follow the true holy Saviour.
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;Hebrews 7:25-26
This life is serious. And while we have much to rejoice in in the Lord we also must be sober minded and there is so much at stake it is nothing to take lightly. May we have His peace and joy in our hearts as we go through this life and take whatever comes! Keep pressing on in the truth and your good works where you are sisters! Love to you in His name.
