Worship God by understanding His word.

God did not write the Bible like a cookbook, straightforward and always easy to understand. It requires effort, diligence, meditation, prayer to understand the Bible. Most people would swear they understand it, but so often they actually misunderstand it. They even hold contradictory beliefs based on their misunderstandings.

We all must make every effort to understand the Bible correctly. Understanding will often take much time, mind, meditation, prayer, consulting with others, trying to obey and so on.

Psalm 106:7 KJV

[7] Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

Matthew 13:19 KJV

[19] When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

People wonder why God did not write the Bible like a cookbook. All easy to understand and follow. The work required to correctly understand the Bible promotes and causes a better relationship with God and with others. When you work to understand God‘s word, you do not work alone, but alongside the Holy Spirit. A better relationship with God always brings about better relationships with people as well.

John 16:13A KJV

[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:

John 14:26 KJV

[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

2 Timothy 2:7B KJV

[7] the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
