HOW WELL DO YOU UNDERSTAND GOD'S WORD?

Today's promise: God will help you understand His Word

How well do you understand God's Word?

But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their minds so they will understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them. I will be their God, and they will be My people!

Hebrews 8:10 NLT

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophets themselves or because they wanted to prophesy. It was the Holy Spirit who moved the prophets to speak from God.

2 Peter 1:20-21 NLT

About this week's promise:

How remarkable that the God of the universe would actually want to communicate with us! We are creatures of a material, physical world to which we relate through our five senses. God is a spiritual being. We in our physical state cannot see Him, hear Him, or touch Him, so how can He communicate with us? Through the Bible.

Over several centuries, God inspired a select number of people to write down what He felt we needed to know about Him and how He expects us to live. These writings have been collected into this book, called the Holy Bible. In a miraculous way, the Bible speaks to each of us. Its truths apply across generations, across cultures, across all life experience.

When it comes to reading the Bible, most of us read just enough to get by. Read God's Word daily so you can thoroughly understand all God wants you to know.
