FAITH CAPSULE: Understanding will give peace of God.  

Philippians 4

It is understanding that prompts knowledge.
Do you have an understanding of the word of God?
One with an understanding of the word of God is bound to gain a knowing edge.
Understanding the need for wisdom is with knowledge.
Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are like a puzzle and cannot be separated to gain a clear picture of life.
No one should miss any of the packages to get well in all going.
Jesus asked and answered rhetorically.
John 8:43, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Understanding is important.
Listening is crucial.
Listening is gaining a knowing edge.
Take note that listening is not just about hearing, but it is about hearing repeatedly.
Hearing repeatedly is the actual process of listening.
What is listening repeatedly is to have a knowing edge, the character of having faith.
Indeed, one who listens will have faith.
Romans 10:17 states, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Having faith is listening and becoming one with understanding.
Understanding will give peace of God.
One with peace of God is with the character, not being a victim, not gaining an edge (knowledge)
Understanding is important.
It is a must to have understanding.
Psalm 14:2 records, “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”
Having an understanding to gain knowledge is crucial to navigating safely in the wicked world.
Hosea 4:6 reports, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” 
Do you have an understanding that prompts knowledge?
The acclaimed believers get destroyed when and where they should not because they lack knowledge.
Many reject knowledge of a lack of understanding, disregarding the hand of God.
His people did not embrace knowledge to give regard to the works of God. 
Psalm 28:5 states, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up. 
With a lack of knowledge, one is set for destruction and is also a candidate for captivity.
Isaiah 5:13 states, “Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” 
Lack of knowledge leads to captivity. 
God has made available wisdom that is His word. 
The wisdom of God is full of conditions and promises that will enable His children to have an edge over challenges and not be destroyed or go into captivity if His children give regard to His wisdom.
For example, having a way where there is no way, standing and not falling on the ground where others fall, can be described as having a knowing edge.

Prayer for today: Ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His word to keep you from destruction.
