Nothing in Christianity will ever have true power in your life until your understanding is involved. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” This is a foundational law in the Christian journey: without sound understanding, even the best spiritual experiences can become meaningless rituals. Understanding is what gives you a footing to stand firm. If you do not understand what you are practicing, it will not profit you no matter how excited you are about it.
It is understanding that keeps you from becoming a shallow Christian tossed about by every wind of doctrine.
When David faced Goliath, he did not use any special weapon that others did not have; he used understanding. While others trembled in fear, David knew the meaning of circumcision — it was the mark of God’s covenant with Israel. He understood that Goliath, being uncircumcised, was automatically outside of God’s protection, and thus vulnerable. That understanding gave him the boldness to confront and defeat the giant. In the same way, many Christians today bring zeal to the battles of life but lack the necessary understanding to win. Victory in life is not powered by excitement but by deep understanding. Understanding must be sought concerning everything: your salvation, your covenant rights, the power of the Holy Spirit in you, the meaning of the Lord’s Table, and your authority over the devil.
Paul prayed for the Ephesian church in Ephesians 1:17-18, asking that God would give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and enlighten the eyes of their understanding. Without enlightened understanding, you will not know the hope of your calling, the riches of your inheritance, or the power available to you in Christ. Understanding transforms spiritual realities into living experiences. When you understand, faith becomes strong, authority becomes effective, and your Christian life becomes fruitful. As you go on this journey of building strong foundations, make it a personal priority to seek understanding. Ask questions, study the Word, and refuse to operate in ignorance. A victorious Christian life is a life rooted in sound, practical, working understanding.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Is your Christian walk driven by true understanding or mere excitement? What areas of your life do you need to seek deeper spiritual understanding today?
PRAYER: Father, I ask for the spirit of wisdom and revelation to rest upon me. Enlighten the eyes of my understanding, that I may know the fullness of my calling and inheritance in Christ. Help me to walk in spiritual strength and not in ignorance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
