God wants to make sure that we understand the word He is passing on to us. It all begins with how we hear what God is saying.
When we understand this, it is like having the map of our destiny in our hands. To get to this point, we must be willing to hear from God again and again. For example, when we make an order in a restaurant, the waiter makes sure he really understands what has been ordered. He politely repeats the orders to be certain that what he has heard is correct.
Declarations of truth should start in our hearts and then come out through our mouths. Having a closed Bible in our home is like having one of the most important people in society there, but not allowing them to speak a single word. I can imagine that this person would feel incredibly frustrated, misled and eventually, they would probably leave.
In the same way, the Author of Life or the Creator of the universe is in our homes. He makes Himself real through His Word. Having the Bible is like having God Himself as a guest in our home.
Let us allow Him to speak and reveal His truths to us. Understanding the Word of God, treasuring it in our hearts and declaring its truths, is the key to moving in the spiritual realm. It is important for you to meditate on and have your life grounded in, the Word of God. By this I mean that we have to digest the word a bit like a cow digests its food. Surely we most often only see the underside of tangled thread and knotted ugliness until God in His grace allows us a glimpse of the beauty he has wrought. Naomi's planned and executed move to Moab resulted in tragedy to her family but God used it to bring goodness and mercy to the whole world.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 Corinthians 4: Did Naomi know she was to become the ancestor of our Messiah?
Not in her wildest dreams Naomi however lost that hope with the death of her sons and husband. All seemed physically impossible now Do not ever think anything or anyone is too insignificant for God to use! For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: God can use you even though you may feel insignificant, useless, overlooked and under achieving!
He just requires you surrender into His hands and He will shape your life like the potter shapes the formless clay into objects of beauty and usefulness.
Ruth,the ancestor of Messiah demonstrates the God's grace, guidance, and goodness in taking bad situations and turning them into triumph radiating His Glory.
