Spiritual Understanding

Nehemiah 8:5-11

5 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. 6 Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear [a] and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read.

Bee's Thoughts:

It seems like a"Praise & Worship" session in today's Church service above. Very similar isn't it? Ezra led the people to praise and worship God, followed by expounding the word of God.

It is important that Christians don't just read or hear the word of God but also to seek to understand what the Bible is trying to teach. Only in this way can they be strong and will not fall away or be misled by wrong doctrines.

Dear Lord,
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Whenever I feel lost I have to come to Your word to see Your light. Let my heart be a soft ground where Your word will bear fruits in my life. I commit myself to You tonight.
In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
