Get Understanding

The sure safeguard against making disastrous decisions is to know the word of God and to develop a prayerful understanding of it.



Proverbs 16
25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

The sure safeguard against making disastrous decisions is to know the word of God and to develop a prayerful understanding of it. We should never assume understanding we have read it and can make some sense of it. Instead, we need to pray for the great teacher, the Holy Spirit, to lead us into the truth of it.

The scriptures are not only the map of life but they contain the stories that give us vital clues on how we may get off the path by compromising a principle or forgetting to inquire regarding the will of the Lord. When we are prayerfully and sincerely connected to Him we can be assured He will even make our mistakes small missteps and deliver us from the foolishness of which we are prone. He will read our heart and save us from our deadly courses.
