2 Chronicles 35, Ecclesiastes 11, Matthew 22: 23-46
What God said to me – My word is deep and complex and has many levels that are only understood by spending much time and study. The scribes and Pharisees knew the surface facts and truths and most of them prided themselves with that and went no further – they had no desire to actually know Me and learn about Me and what I revealed about Myself through My word. When I asked them a simple question, they were able to respond with a surface fact, but when I probed further into the truth, they were at a loss and quit asking questions. Don’t be like them. Always strive to go deeper, asking questions, studying and meditating and wrestling until you begin to have an understanding. Diving into My word in study and meditation and struggling to gain true understanding is how you come to know Me in a deeper, more meaningful, and real way. Don’t stop or pass over a scripture because you don’t get it – dig in and let Me teach you.
