"but Knowledge is easy to him that understandeth." Proverbs 14:6
"Knowledge” Details, the little things that make everything work. These are the little words that make up the big verses that change your life. Read the Bible very deliberate, desiring to really know what it means and when you get understanding knowledge will be easy. The reason some people have trouble understanding the Bible is that they don't have understanding. They don't have the concept of what God is doing in the earth. That's why the scriptures are hard for them. If you apply the concept of "The Law of first mention" to every detail of the Bible it will be easy for you to understand. I call it "Go to the Garden", how did God deal with Adam's sin in the beginning? What God did then, He'll do now in your life. He forgave Adam, He'll forgive you. Paul told Timothy that there were people that are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. They just don't get it because they can’t; it's not possible without understanding. Reading books "ABOUT" the Bible will not give you the knowledge of Truth because you don't understand the One who wrote the Bible. All you get from your books is a head full of information, but if you have understanding that information will become Revelation that will change your life. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) Please let God speak to you right now, right where you are and you will never be the same. He wants you to have His knowledge in your life; it can be transferred into your heart and mind in an instant. Just ask and listen, He will speak to you!! "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you."(Proverbs 1:23). God will "MAKE" known "HIS WORDS" to you. Just listen with your inner man and He will do the rest.

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6
Three very powerful words found throughout Proverbs, life changing words I might add!!! Understanding----Knowledge-----Wisdom... Today I would like to discuss understanding, then knowledge, then wisdom, the next two days.
Understanding = Concept, the big picture, how something functions or the main purpose. If you understand the nature of God, the Bible details will be easy for you. God's purpose and character never change so If you have a clear understanding of how God did things in the garden of Eden then you understand what God will always do. Solomon said that what God has done He will do and what He's going to do, He has already done. Proverbs calls this understanding. It's the concept of the spiritual laws of the Bible. It's the foundation upon which true knowledge is built, knowledge that is absolute truth. It is utterly impossible to understand the Bible without a full grasp of God's intent for the human race. As I said earlier, that is found in Genesis-chapters 1-3. I suggest you read Proverbs several times to realize the value of understanding (concept). "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," (Ephesians 1:18) In order to know, you must have an understanding of God's intent or purpose. God's intent never changes because He never changes, so what He has always done He will always do, as to purpose. "For I am the LORD, I change not," (Malachi 3:6)
His nature never changes, I know you're thinking, God looks different to me today than He did thirty years ago. Guess what, He's the same, you've matured and see more of Him now. He's able to reveal more of Himself to you now because you're mature enough to grasp it. Jesus revealed Himself to the Apostles as they could process it. If you get on a river boat at St Louis and float south down the Mississippi River, it will continue to get bigger to you but it's the same river!! "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8). Understand Who He is and then you will know what He's doing!

"But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;" -Phillippians 1:12
"But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;"
(Phillippians 1:12)
"Things which Happened". Paul wanted us to understand that even though things happen, they happen for a reason and can bring about purpose. Paul was referring to his imprisonment, where he got to preach the gospel to those in the palace of Rome. We are told to give thanks in all things. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18) He didn't say give thanks "For" everything but "In" everything!!! Have you ever been in an uncomfortable situation? Well God says, "Give Thanks" in everything. It's time to rise up and give Him thanks!!
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;"(James 1:2)
"Count it all Joy", "In everything give Thanks", God's way for us to perceive things is all together different from our way of looking at things. We are usually consumed with fear and frustration instead of thanksgiving and joy.
We must learn to be aware of the fact that God has already worked it out for our good. It was Paul's desire that we "understand" what is going on in our world even if it doesn't appear good. "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."(Ephesians 5:17) Without the foundation of understanding, it is doubtful that you will ever "Know" what's going on in your life. "but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth."(Proverbs 14:6) God wants us to know what is going on, so get understanding and you will be on your way to knowing.

My confidence is in You, Lord, and Your work will never end. I give thanks to You, Lord, for all Your mercy and grace manifested in my life every day. I thank You, My Father, that You've made me the head and not the tail, You've picked me up so that I'm above and not beneath.
