I Don’t Understand

It is not unusual for a person to begin a conversation with someone who does not understand what they are saying. “We’re on two completely different pages!” is a common response.

This could be for many reasons, such as having less education, different cultural backgrounds, or even different personalities.

One thing we all need to understand is the Word of God. Can we? Of course we can!

“And we know that the Son of God has come and given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20).”

When God speaks to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17), we can understand it! We have an example after Jesus was resurrected. He appeared to His disciples and “opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures (Luke 24:45).”

God means what He says, and says what He means. It’s not that hard to understand! “May the Lord give you understanding in all things (2 Timothy 2:7).”
