Psalm 19:11, 12 - If You Want to Know Gods Will, Just Open Your Bible.
Psalm 19:11, 12 (MSG) God's Word warns us of
danger and directs us to hidden treasure. Otherwise
how will we find our way? Or know when we play
the fool?
COMMENTARY PEARL
Most of Gods will is already revealed.
The principles are there! When you open your
Bible, God opens his mouth and starts talking. Are
you waiting for God to write his will in the
sky? Why would he need to do that when hes
already written it in a book? Open the Bible daily,
and see what God says.
Stop listening for a voice, and start
looking for a verse.
Gods Word warns us of danger and
directs us to hidden treasure. Otherwise how will we
find our way? Or know when we play the fool?
(Psalm 19:11-12 The Message).
God will teach you his principles. Then,
when youre looking for guidance, you can see
if your circumstances or your emotions line up
with Gods Word. The Bible will confirm Gods
will.
And keep this in mind: God expects you to
obey what you already know before he shows you
something new. So if God has already told you want he
expects you to do and you havent done it yet,
dont expect him to show you the next step. Hes
waiting for you to take the first step.
Ive asked you before to practice
meditating on Gods Word and that you could use Psalm
23 to start. To meditate on Gods Word means
to think deeply and focus on Gods Word for a
period of time. First, read the passage slowly,
perhaps out loud a few times, placing emphasis on
different words or phrases. Second, reflect on the
truth of the text. Third, respond to God in light
of what youve just read - this may be
quietly or out loud. Fourth, rest in the Word of
God, listening for what God has to say through
the Scripture.
You only have to open your Bible to know
what Gods will for your life is. Then, you
have to spend time reading and studying it so it
can transform your heart and mind. [Daily
