Fantastic Friday #1048 - Understanding

Understanding

33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
that I may follow it to the end.[a]
34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight. Psalm 119:33-35

Do you seek understanding? Is it that you are looking for clarification on something, or are you trying to be more empathetic in your life? There are many times that I do not understand why the Lord has me in certain situations, and my immediate question to Him is to give me more understanding of why I am in these predicaments. These situations may be related to family, health, or just the world pressing down on me. God doesn't always give us full understanding while we are in these situations, but He does give us something for each and every moment. That is the ability to call to Him with our requests. Stopping and focusing on God and His goodness can many times help us find delight in our circumstances and help us realize that right now we may not fully understand the why. We can however understand that God does everything for our good, and nothing bad can come from God. We can all lean into God's empathetic voice to direct us and guide our path every single moment, we just can't get caught up in fully understanding. Take a moment to find delight in what is happening in our lives, and give thanks to God for each and every path we travel. He will direct us.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
