1st Chronicles 28:19. “All this, said David, the Lord made me understanding the writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.” UNDERSTAND IN WRITING. The words were spoken, how do I know the words that were really said? How can I check to see what is really right, not wishful thinking instead? The answer is simple, but very profound – God made His words to be written down –. So there is no mistaking what He had in His mind, so His intention is easily found.
He gave the pattern of His house; the ordering of those who serve. There is no confusion as to what He intended, what not to do and what to observe. He searches the hearts and understands my thoughts, nothing from Him is hid. The words are written that I might act on what His will does me bid.
He expects of me to go forward and claim the inheritance of the redeemed. Often there is hesitation when I come across obstacles unseen. But then I go back to the writings; the scriptures of truth unchanged. And find when I search them honestly, the answer is right there so plain.
The Lord God is right there to be found as the writing to me unfolds. The results that He wants are attainable when I do what I am told. When I seek for and keep His commandments, reality there is mine. And the complicated things are made understandable by what in His Word I do find.
There are a couple of requirements to be met so I can understand. I have to seek for all of His commandments, and keep them to possess the land. For me it is not acres of fields or forests or towns to possess. But a good land of a ripe harvest of souls who are looking for a place to rest.
To sit with and hear the worship and praise of those who God saved – Is music of the highest order to my ears and there arises within me praise. For God has used these feeble hands and weakness, to perfect His strength. Souls are added to this inheritance that will come to light at length.
The writing remains the same though the seasons of man do change. The commitment to obey what is written, and do what is said remains. I commit myself to seek Him and not forsake Him ever – And trust Him to fulfill His written promise to bring blessing from this endeavor.
“O Gracious Father, the words of this man resonate with me. I want to keep and seek Thy commands. I want to leave a good inheritance for my children. I want to serve Thee with a willing heart and mind and never forsake the words of Thy writing. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
