The word gives us a heightened sense of awareness not only of the scriptures but of truth in general. I am convinced that we read the scriptures too fast and read right over the golden nuggats that God is trying to show us. People everywhere are talking about God, but very few give the sense of what the scriptures are really saying. It's a higher, simpler knowledge that only a renewed mind can understand. It's not about being deep or speaking eloquently. It's like reducing a fraction to its lowest common denominator and then reducing it some more.
What if we didn't need money the way we think we do. God promised to bless the work of our hands and the power on that statement alone speaks volumes. It means that whatever we put our hands to do would prosper. Look at Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and Solomon. Back up and look at the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. They are a picture of what happens when you give. They had been giving for 400 years and the Egyptians gave back pressed down, shaken together and running over. The children of Israel received the spoils of war without ever having to fight a battle.
There is a power in the Word that we should hunger to experience. It will drive us closer to God just to see what He is going to say or show us next. It's like liquid gold. The more truth you get, the more truth you'll want. Remember, the Holy Ghost is aways the teacher. The word will get better, gooder, sweeter, and become so marvelous to the taste until nothing else will satisfy. I am encouraging you to take one word and meditate on it until a clause forms. Then meditate on the clause until a paragraph forms. Meditate on the paragraph until a story forms. That's how the word works. A mustard seed grows into a mighty tree. Don't get in a hurry and don't rush. Let me know what you experience so we can rejoice together.
