As i was doing my devotion today, i learnt something new which I'll be sharing. I use to wonder how i was going to learn the whole bible in a short pace and if i ever could. There were times when i would read a scripture and would not understand and times when i wouldn't even know which scripture to use while praying.........is there anyone who can relate?
Sometimes i would try and ask others but most times I'll just ask the Holy Spirit to bring to my understanding what i read. In today's wise quote, we'll be looking at one of God's promises which is also an answer to these questions.
Psalm 32:8(ESV) - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
If you are like me who asked these questions and also asked the Holy Spirit to help you, then you're on the right path. Today i learnt that God brings His Word to us in 'Bitesize' portions and we also need to digest them in as such. Trying to cram in the whole bible doesn't help in understanding the hidden blessings which are opened to us each day.
God is saying to us in Psalm 32:8 that He Himself will instruct and teach us.....there is no better teacher than the Spirit of God, remember He's in us to direct our paths, He guides us into all the truth, He does not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He speaks, and he declares to us the things that are to come......John 16:13.
In other words we are to depend on the Spirit of God to counsel us in ALL things including trying to understand the scriptures. Today, take the time to digest and dwell on The Word as the Spirit of God leads you. Do not rush it or try to depend on your own strength and abilities. He is counseling you with His Eye upon you......what an amazing assurance. Have a blessed day.
