April 14 The Power of God’s Word
My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those with knowledge. –Proverbs 8:9 (NLT)
COMMON SENSE FROM THE WORD
A poem by ILMA
The word of God is alive
It brings light and makes you thrive
Only those who have faith can understand
They gain knowledge by following his commands.
It becomes plain to anyone who believes
It brings clarity to those who pursue and seek
God brings revelations and convictions to the wise
Their common sense comes from following God’s advice.
There are so many Christians I know that have a hard time understanding God’s word. In the past, I also struggled with it. These past three years I have gotten some revelations from reading it. The bible is not like any other book. It breathes life on the heart of the reader. It speaks to us when we need to hear some things in our lives. It teaches and guides us to the truth. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us what is right. (2 Timothy 2:16)
Proverbs 8:9 specifically states that those who seek God’s word are granted understanding and knowledge. It becomes second nature to hear God’s voice and discern things when you are consumed by it. Like lovers, the more you want to know your beloved, the deeper your relationship turns out to be.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a constant hunger for you.
