Lord, Give Us An Understanding Heart!

LORD, GIVE US AN UNDERSTANDING HEART!

Psalm 119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Proverbs 14:29 (NIV) A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.

HOW SAD TO LIVE IN YOUR OWN WORLD OF MISUNDERSTANDING? God please stamp on our eye lids the word: ETERNITY? If we could seek what aligns with God’s word and what is important to God. Divine understanding is a gift from God given to man.

Job 32:7 (NIV) I thought, 'Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.' 8 But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.

*UNDERSTAND, UNDERSTANDING: KINDNESS, to have deep insight, to forgive, the ability to comprehend, sympathetically aware of other people’s feelings, tolerant, to have good judgment, appreciate, clear idea, firm mental grasp, harmony, agreement, to figure out, consider others’ feelings.

MANY HAVE KNOWLEDGE, FEW ATTAIN UNDERSTANDING. UNDERSTANDING IS A PROCESS NOT A DESTINATION IN A JOURNEY. You may think you are an expert but that does not mean you have understanding. To be understanding is much deeper than SURFACE-LEVEL. REAL UNDERSTANDING WILL ALWAYS BUILD GREATER COMPASSION.

Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? IF YOU COULD HAVE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD WHAT WOULD YOU ASK? WOULD YOU ANSWER WITH THE REQUEST THAT WOULD PLEASE THE LORD?

1 Kings 3:5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

Could understanding be a gift of Divine Energy? Will we search for the positive traits of the Love of god?

WHAT IF WE COULD SEE WITH THE EYS OF JESUS? LET US ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE TO HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING IS GOD’S SUPERNATURAL REVELATION.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Eternity is by priorities and views bathe in UNDERSTANDING? Will we be satisfied? Maybe we walk in ignorance more than stupidity?

1 Corinthians 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

OFTEN WE FIND THE DEEPER THINGS OF GOD HIDDEN FROM THE PHYSICAL EYE OF MAN.OFTEN WE CAN ONLY SEE WHAT IS VISIBLE TO THE EYES… HOW MANY ARE SO SELF-FOCUSED THEY REFUSE TO SEE AND REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND…

John 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the
