TO THE BIBLE:
Proverbs 4:13 TLB
“Carry out my instructions; don’t forget them, for they will lead you to real living.”
LET’S TALK
It’s important to understand why following God’s divine instructions matters. These instructions are meant to guide your life, so always take them seriously. Let’s look at how not following divine instructions turned out for someone in the Bible. Let’s look at Moses, who made a grave mistake because he didn’t fully grasp spiritual truth and let his anger take over. This cost him, and he couldn’t lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land.
In Numbers 20:8, God told Moses to speak to a rock to get water for the Israelites. But instead of speaking to the rock, Moses hit it with his rod. Water still came out, but God was dissatisfied with him. A previous instruction to Moses in Exodus 17:6 was for him to strike the rock for it to bring forth water, which he did, and water came out. But this time, the rock wasn’t to be smitten a second time, because that rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4). Christ was to be smitten only once; after that, you talk to Him for whatever you want.
Even though Moses acted in disobedience by striking the rock twice, water still came out. But it didn’t produce the result God wanted. That tells us something: It’s not about the result you want; it’s about what’s right in the sight of God. Is the Father pleased? These things we read in the Scriptures are for our learning (Romans 15:4).
Practise spiritual understanding, spiritual wisdom, and walking in the Spirit. That’s your call. Only if we live this way can we please the Lord in all things. Understand the truth behind His instructions and do them. Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Colossians 1:9-10
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
SPEAK
I’m filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, walking worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Every time, in every place, and in every situation, divine wisdom is at work in me to the glory and praise of the Father. Amen.
