FAITH CAPSULE: Are you with the understanding of God in the journey of life?

Psalm 106

Lack of understanding of the wonders of God is so critical to terminate arrival at the promise of God.
With the lack of understanding of the wonders of God, one will not remember the mercies of God. 
One that does not remember the mercies of God is bound to become rebellious to the word of God.
Psalm 106:7 records the testimony of the lack of understanding of the wonders of God by the Israelites, “Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of your mercies but rebelled by the sea-the Red Sea.”  
Does the word speak to you?
Are you one with a lack of understanding of the wonders of God?
Lack of understanding of the Israelites is the root of rebellion and the complaint, particularly a negative confession.
Numbers 14:1-4 records the complaint of the Israelites,“…And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt…?”
As the Israelites lack understanding with negative confession, are you doing the same before God? 
Every complaint before God is a sin that will provoke consequences.
The Israelites repeatedly complaint before God to experience painful consequences.
God responds to the complaint of the Israelites in Numbers 14:28-29, “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness…”  
Are you with the understanding of God not to live a life of repeated complaint?
Understanding is not of the mouth but the heart. 
Understanding is critical to living right before God.
Understanding the wonders of God will always cause one to remember and not to become one with rebellious character. Proverbs 16:22 testifies that “Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it…”  
Wellspring is a source of abundant supply. With understanding, you will have an abundance of life that Jesus brought for all. Jesus declares it, “…I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) 
In the journey of life, have the desire for understanding to gain abundant life by Christ Jesus. 
The Israelites lack the understanding of God to become wasted in the wilderness.
Forgetting the works of God cannot be separated from the lack of understanding of the doings of God. 
Psalm 106:13-14 refers to the Israelites, “They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.”
To be forgetting the works of God and lacking understanding will position such outside of the expected end.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not live a life waste.
