Kingdom

Notice the wording in this scripture. We are “permitted to understand,” not we are “given understanding.” That suggests that there is effort involved. Whenever we are given permission it simply means that the door has been unlocked for us. It’s up to us to make the investment in reading the Word, after we have asked for the Holy Spirit’s assistance so that we can access the secrets that have been given to us. This is a key concept – if you don’t really seek to learn and understand the way of the Kingdom through God’s Word, you will struggle to find meaning in it for you.

WORDS OF LIFE:

• By faith I receive understanding of the word whenever I read it.
• I expect to understand secrets from God that the world does not know.
• I am God’s child, a citizen of the Kingdom, and God’s ways are not a mystery to me.
