FAITH CAPSULE: Another about the issue of confusion. 

Judges 16

The world hanging on confusion is not stable.
Confusion is not of God but the evidence of the lack of understanding of God. 
To live life according to the word of God is not by force but the choice to make to avoid confusion.
Proverbs 2:11 admonishes, “Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you.”
Are you making the right choice before making your move, or do you move before making the right choice?
One that gains the understanding rooted in knowledge of God is bound not to become a victim of confusion.
Isaiah 33:6 encourages, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
To gain understanding is the key to seeking God, to find God and not be lost in the wicked world.
Psalm 14:2 testifies, “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”
Jesus rhetorically identifies the reason for the lack of understanding in John 8:43, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
To hear is not listening, but hearing and hearing (continually)shall gain understanding.
To gain understanding is crucial not to become a victim of confusion.
Proverbs 4:7 counsels, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” 
In life watching, and praying is the key not to becoming a victim of confusion.
Know to pray for understanding.
It is the lack of understanding that one will work against the warning word of God, evidence of confusion.
The wife of Lot walked against the word of God, the lack of understanding the consequence of confusion.
Genesis 19:17 records the direction for the escape of the wife of Lot, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”
The wife of Lot looked back against the direction of God to experience self-destruction.
Genesis 19:26 states, “But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” 
Sampson revealed the secret of the power of God over his life to become a victim of his enemies. (Judges 16:18-21)
Paul the Apostle was warned against his going to Jerusalem by the Holy Spirit, but he went on his own. (Acts 21:11)
Confusion is not with respect for no one regardless of title.
Lack of understanding is evidence of not knowing God, not disobeying God to experience confusion.
Understand that confusion is rooted in disobedience to the word of God.
