UNDERSTAND GOD |

FAITH CAPSULE: Do you know to understand God in His Word?

Psalm 34

The Word of God is God. John 1:1 confirms that the Word of God is God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. “
Do you know to understand God in His Word?
Indeed, one with no understanding of the Word of God cannot observe to see God in His Word to fear God, to live life in obedience to God.
The evidence of no understanding of God does not hear the Word of God.
John 8:47, “He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” Search yourself to know if you are of God.
Do you understand God to seek Him?
Psalmist buttresses: “The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one.” (Psalm 14:2-3) To fear God is studying Him to understand and know His Word, the key to all that matters in living life.
With understands, knowledge and wisdom will have a place in the life of one.
Firstly, “…But knowledge is easy to him who understands.” (Proverbs 14:6) One with the understanding of God will always have a knowing edge over challenges, and a peace that surpasses all understanding becomes the identity.
Secondly, “Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding…” (Proverbs 14:33)
Wisdom is the instruction of God. 1Corinthians 1:30 states, “But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God…” The wisdom of God in the heart of man is Jesus in the life of man. Meditate on the Word of God Day and night to remain in the presence of God.
God identifies David as one after the heart of God. David, a man after the heart of God, teaches the fear of the Lord when he states, “Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.” (Psalm 34:11) David knows what it is to have an ear to hear and fear God that kept him in his challenges.
DO YOU FEAR GOD?
Psalm 34:13-14 identifies four points in one who fears God:
1. Keep your tongue from evil,
2. Keep your lips from speaking deceit,
3. Depart from evil and do good,
4. Seek peace and pursue it.
In this wicked world, one should meditate on what it means to fear God. In the journey of life, Abraham served God because he feared God. Hebrews 11:8 testifies, “By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Just like Abraham, fear God, give yourself to obey His Word, gain to retain the presence of God.
