Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-20

Luke 24:45 (NKJV) 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Jesus opened the understanding of the disciples because there were some things they didn’t get.

Don’t ever try to make something out of the scriptures if we don’t get exactly what they are saying. Let God open our understanding so that we too can comprehend what He is saying to us through them.

His word is His word. Be careful to listen, to follow, and very careful not add to it.

Deuteronomy 12:32 (NKJV) 32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

Never should we add to scripture or take away from it. That will get us in trouble, and it won’t help anyone by doing such a thing.

It’s like the blind leading the blind.

This happens when people try to tickle the ears of the listeners, or they water down what the gospel is really saying.

This is not good, and we must watch out for such teachers, pastors, priests, etc.

The word of God is there to bring correction and help us to grow. It will not coddle us, and sometimes it will make us feel very uncomfortable.

That’s OK. We need to be uncomfortable sometimes. That is what gets us moving.

The word of God is for inspiration, correction and for instruction in righteousness. Let God open our understanding that we may comprehend it all.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…
