Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. – Psalm 119:66
There are those of us who turn to God when times are difficult, but don’t consider His instructions when times are stable and calm. It would behoove us all to seek the knowledge that God provides daily for in it are the threads of life. We cannot hope to succeed in this life on our own. Success is fleeting and money vanishes right before our eyes. Knowing the word of God and His precepts can save us much heartache as we walk the path that stretches out before us. We do not learn such things by osmosis, but by digging into scripture and then applying those things we have found to our lives. Just knowing the Lord is insufficient. We must immerse ourselves in His teachings for how else can we truly get acquainted with Him. We need to drink in the goodness of God and allow it to mold our character from the inside out. Scripture tells us in James 4:8 that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. As with all relationships, both parties must participate. God is willing; are you? Until next time…walk with the King and be a blessing!
