Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Our Saviour builds (Luke 11)


But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armour in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

The power at work in us does not divide but makes us a family of strangers. 
A family of strangers with one goal that by the power in us have learnt to love one another. 
We do not come in race; social economic status or education; but by the Power of the Spirit at work in us and through us we come in the name of Jesus.

It is fervent prayer that we would keepers of the Word.

I was tempted to copy and paste verses 37-54 but I ask you to read and apply to our own journeys..
We often think of ourselves as better than the lawyers; the pharisees; and tax collectors but  the lessons aimed at them are our lessons too. 
Our Lord is always looking to build not to destroy. 
In whatever sphere of influence we find ourselves in let us always remember to build just as our Saviour did.
