Understanding Scripture

Scripture: Luke 24:45 Then He opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures

Observation: Sometimes I wish Jesus would open up my mind so that I could understand the scriptures better. My mind is so preoccupied with the things of this world I have a hard time focusing on the meaning of God’s Word.

Application: To pray that God will open my mind before I begin my reading to understand what He is trying to tell me. To be more focused in my reading and to give my full attention during that time. To memorize scripture and use them in the course of the day.

Prayer: Dear Lord open my mind that I may receive your Word into my heart and to understand what it is you desire of me.
