Understanding

The doctors were astonished at His understanding. We don't always understand the truths of Scripture when we first hear them. But if we sit, hear and ask, then understanding will certainly come. God desires that our understanding be opened and that we fully and happily know the truth of the Bible. When we understand a scripture, that means we know what it says and that it applies to us personally. There are too many today that can tell you what God's Word says, but seldom apply it to their own hearts first. Knowledge without understanding is a great obstacle to spiritual growth. Live, show, and then speak what you know of God's precious book (Matt. 5:19.)
