Scripture: Matthew 13:12 (partial)
To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge…
Observation: Those who really want to know more about Jesus will learn more.
Application: If you really want to know more about Jesus and have a fuller understanding of him, you can.
If you want to know Jesus better, just like anyone else, you have to spend more time with him. And if it is a true desire in your heart, you will make the time and do it. Then you will be richly rewarded with a deeper understanding and deeper relationship.
Read the Bible. Think about what you have read. Pray about it and for greater understanding. Listen as best you can. Then you will grow in Christ.
You don’t have to set lofty goals. Just spend some time regularly and you will be rewarded.
Prayer: Lord, I know what it is like to want more of you and wonder how to get there. Thank you for showing me, for guiding me in a way that works for us.
Please speak to all those wanting more of you but feeling lost as to how to get it. Whisper or shout in the hearts and ears. Let them feel an urge so strong they can no longer deny it. And guide them into spending time with you. I don’t want anyone who wants you to feel left out. Give them all what they need to grow in confidence and in reliance on you.
Thank you, Lord, for showing me the way to be with you and to learn about you. How amazing that you can show each of us our best way, if we just make time to listen!
