Nehemiah 8:7, 8  Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah, who were Levites, explained the law to the people as they stood in their places. They read out of the book of the law of God, translating and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was read. (CSB)

Understanding God’s heart and mind, his will and ways, is among life’s most important lessons. Place a high value on those who can give the meaning of the Bible so that you can understand. Place a higher value on those who teach you how to understand the meaning for yourself and how to apply it to your life. 

Learning to feed yourself is a life lesson we dare not skip. Becoming independent in using utensils like forks and spoons is the kind of accomplishment parents and toddlers alike enjoy. Those first halting motions, the developing coordination, and the targets hit, and missed, produce laughter and delight. 

God delights in us as we learn to feed ourselves from his words of truth and life.  He enjoys watching us as we seek to know and experience him more deeply. He leans in to listen to our prayers as they move from simple to shaky to sublime. 

Self-discipline is a gift we give ourselves. The self-discipline of daily appointments with God to understand and apply his truth, and to pray for ourselves and others, enriches our walk with God and strengthens us for all life brings our way. 

I will seek understanding, and I will apply the truths God has for me day by day.

Our Father, please give me greater understanding of your heart and mind, your will and ways. Empower me to make the kinds of applications to my life that shape all that I think, do, and say. Make me more like Jesus as I continue along the way. Amen.

Daily D – Matthew 1:20-21

Matthew 1:20, 21 But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Daily D – Hebrews 6:15

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Daily D – Psalm 25:8

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
