Process What’s Before You

Process What’s Before You

Hebrews 5:11-12 (NIV®)

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

We learn things in a logical order. Can you imagine a teacher asking you to master multiplication before you learned to count? Or expecting you to write an essay before you learned to read? The author of Hebrews says there is much God would like to teach us, but we can’t hear it yet because we haven’t processed what He has already made available to us. I’ve observed that God is more likely to give us greater knowledge and insight into spiritual things when we have made an effort to understand what He has already placed before us. I urge you to cooperate with the truth before you. Be diligent in Bible reading and prayer. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand what you have read and heard from the Lord and know how to apply it.

THINK ABOUT IT

Spiritual growth is important in our Christian life. Pray for understanding of what is before you, and ask God to show you the next step!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank You for extending Your truth to me—I choose to believe it and cooperate with Your Holy Spirit. I yield to Your purposes. May Your power deliver me from every hindrance and establish me in paths of righteousness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
