ASK FOR WISDOM

James 1:5 NLT If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

Do you ever scratch your head trying to understand a verse of scripture you’ve come across? Jesus said His words are spirit and life (John 6:63), and we need to come to them with our spirit so we can receive what they say rather than with our natural thinking.

It helps to remember the Word of God is supernatural, and that Jesus is The Word. He says we’re united with Him now, united with the supernatural, but maybe we forget to see ourselves that way and if we come to the Word of God from the soulish realm our mind struggles with it, it wants to tilt, a bit like this dog!😊

There are lots of things God’s word says to us that challenge our natural thinking, and on one occasion people said Jesus’ teaching was hard to accept and many abandoned Him! They tried to understand what He was teaching them from their intellect instead of from their spirits and so they couldn’t handle it. 

No wonder we need the Holy Spirit so much! Only He can bring the scriptures alive, when He gives us light bulb moments and we suddenly ‘get it’! Those wow moments when we see the truth and it sets us free!😊

So this is just a nudge today to stick with it and to keep reading the scriptures even if we don’t understand them straight away. We can ask the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom to help us understand what we need to know, and in the meantime we just stay in an attitude of faith knowing it will be like digging for treasure which will bless us greatly when we find it. His words are Life! 😊Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x
