FAITH CAPSULE: In all your getting get understanding.

Psalm 106

The Bible admonishes the importance of understanding in the pages of the Bible. Proverbs 4:7 speaks out, “…And in all your getting, get understanding…” Whatever one does have without understanding is bound to be short in all getting.
Jesus, in His speech He questions, and answer the reason for the lack of understanding in John 8:43 records, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
In your journey of life, are you with the understanding of God?
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.
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 not to arrive at the expected journey of life.
One that is not mindful of the works of God will forget the doing of God to become of sin before God. The Israelites forgot; they could not wait on God but died in the sin of doubt with negative confession before God and did not get to the Promised Land.
One with a lack of understanding of God will not remember, forgetful but will fail to believe in what God has done to question what God can do. 
Listen to what the lack of understanding of the Israelites did to them, as regards their failure, “Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word” (Psalm 106:24) 
They despised to disobeyed the meaning of the words of God and took the wrong way outside of the plan of God. 
God promised to take them to the Promised Land, while the negative testimonies of the spy provoked an unbelieving act in their life. 
Failure not to believe God is a sin and not to claim His promise.
God is holy, and with sin, no man can reach God to gain the promise of God. 
Do you understand the wondrous acts of God?
Are you forgetting the works of God and with failure to believe God, taking to the route of sin to an untimely death?
Get the understanding of the doings of God, not just to know about the doings of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life with the understanding of God.
