Understanding Brings Confidence, Part 1
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding (Proverbs 4:7).
We as God’s children must know that God’s Wisdom is what we must acquire in order to operate effectively in this world. Get wisdom. With all your getting of wisdom, you will get understanding. In order to be successful and walk in victory in our lives, we must understand how God operates His kingdom
Understanding brings confidence to us regarding God’s desire and total ability to take care of us. Yes, God greatly desires, longs for and passionately wants to be the One Who is allowed to give us everything He has—-health, prosperity, love, joy, peace, contentment, happiness, and days of heaven on earth in our relationships.
God is not holding back anything from you and me. What happens is that we don’t always understand how to allow Him to do what He loves to do. He loves to pour out on us all the benefits of His whole kingdom. The challenge is not in His giving. The challenge is in our receiving. We get annoyed when things don’t happen AS we want them to happen, WHEN we want them to happen. We blame God and get upset with those who teach that He is a good God and rewards faith.
God’s Word is true for you and me whether we see it operating in our lives or not. If it is not operating, it is not God’s fault. When we finally accept that fact and swallow our pride and admit that we missed it, then in our humility we can ask the Lord to show us how to receive.
We lose battles because we are not assured in our inner man that God will come through for us. After all, we reason, He has not done anything for me so far, and it’s been a long time. It makes no difference how long it has been, God still is waiting with the answer for you. It’s still there. Don’t give up now, when you are so close to winning.
