Insight


Day 72
There are things in your life, in your home, and in the lives of others that you cannot see or do not understand. When you see them, you may perceive them incorrectly, based on human understanding and the knowledge you have up until now.

To understand these things and to know what to do about them, you must pray in the Spirit and cry out for understanding, insight and discernment. Spend time planted at the feet of Jesus, calling out and waiting for my wisdom and my understanding of these matters. This is obedience. You will receive instruction for further steps of obedience, and being in the Spirit will cause you to be certain, firm and unwavering in your obedient actions (which are your good works).

My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.

For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe [Proverbs 2:1-11, NLT].
