The Why.

I have heard the saying all my life, "Knowledge is Power." Most would agree with this statement. However, as I was sitting at my desk in meditation regarding a passage of scripture I was reading when the thought came to me, "I have grown up in church and I know so many passages of scriptures so I have the knowledge of scripture but why do I still struggle in certain areas of my life?" An interesting dialog between the Lord and I ensued

A few minutes after I asked that question I heard the Lord whisper to me,"Knowledge is useless unless applied." I replied, "I know scripture, I am not a scholar by no means but I know the word of God."

He answered back "But is it just head knowledge or do you believe it and trust what it says with all your heart? Does My Word ooze from your spirit so that you are able to apply it to your life?"

After thinking about it for several minutes I answered "No. Evidently not if I am still struggling in areas of my life."

The Lord then said this. "It's not enough for you to have topical knowledge of Me because you can never find gold unless you dig unless you dive unless you search. Gold has no value buried in the earth, or at the bottom of the ocean it has to be surfaced and refined in order for you to be to able to apply its value to your life."

Then the Lord dropped Psalms 9: 9-10 in my mind and this is what it says: 9 The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

So why this blog? Because there is still so much gold confined within the Word of God that needs to be surfaced in order for me to be able to apply it’s value to my life. So I figured why not share some of what I discovered with others.
