SEEK UNDERSTANDING

"I just don't understand her!" "He's impossible!" These little phrases have caused many sleepless nights.

How many times have you gone to bed with your mind churning over someone you just can't understand? Questions like, "Why is she so miserable?" "Why doesn't he change?" or "How could he do this?" rage on and on.

You soon discover that there's no peace in trying to figure this person out for yourself; you need God's help. Only His understanding can give you the serenity necessary not only to sleep well, but to deal with the individual later on.

How can you "tap into" God's understanding? Merely desire it and seek Him for it and it's yours! He says, "apply your heart to understand; Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding...Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness" (Proverbs 2:2-3, 11-13, NKJV).

By gaining His understanding you will enter into a love and appreciation of those who now trouble you. No longer will you be in bondage to the distresses they cause. Through His understanding you will be free...
