Ask for Understanding

Today’s #Snippet

Scripture Anchor:

“And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?”  Daniel 12:8 KJV

Apostolic Insight:

Sometimes the wisest thing you can say is, “I do not understand.”

Daniel was a prophet who had received extraordinary revelation from God. Yet when he did not understand something, he did not pretend that he did: He asked.

There is freedom in asking questions.

Spiritual maturity does not require us to have an explanation for everything God is doing.

There will be Scriptures we must study more carefully, circumstances we cannot immediately interpret, and seasons whose meaning becomes clearer only with time.

A refined believer should be comfortable enough with truth, to admit the limits of personal understanding.

We do not have to manufacture answers to appear spiritual:

● We can ask God.

● We can study.

● We can wait. 

● And sometimes, we can simply say, “I do not know yet.”

Remember: 

Humility leaves room for revelation.

Ponder This:

Where have I been trying to explain something that I really need to bring before God?

Declaration:

I pursue understanding with humility. I refuse to allow pride make me pretend certainty where God is still teaching me.

Prayer of Agreement:

Father, Thank You for giving me understanding according to Your truth.

I receive the grace to ask without embarrassment, to study without presumption, and to wait without anxiety.

I will keep my heart humble and my spirit receptive to Your instruction.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.

Shalom,

Hephzibah Christly
