You have the favour of God Dear Reader. Do you believe this to be true? By virtual of the breath in your lungs along with your abilities to feel, think, live, love, laugh, cry, you prove that His hand is upon you. Reject this truth and I ask you this, which hand gives to you generously? Which one crafted and shaped you for magnificence and glory? Who is it that sustains you when trouble is at your doorstep and enters into your abode? Who? I tell you that God sees you and you, Dear One, are one of His favourites and again this, His favour is upon you.
I know God, His love, His strength. I know that He favours me, fortifies me. There is more, so much more than this. It is not enough for Him to know me, that is childish and self serving. Having my needs met when I cry like an infant who cannot stand hunger or discomfort was acceptable when I could not see past myself. As a faithful adult, I advance, Hebrews 5:12-14 "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." Here we arrive at next. As you read earlier, it is not enough for God to know us. Next is us knowing HIM. We must be weaned from milk and grow our spirit on solid food Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." How do we do this Dear Reader? How do we learn about Him and become skilled, mature, discerning, trained? It starts with desire, a burning desire to know The One that made you, made me. From there we seek insatiably, hungry for soulful satisfaction. Look at the verse from Hebrews above. "You ought to be teachers..." Are you there yet? Have you studied your subject? Do you know it well? Does God grant you favours when you do not know the answers because He knows you are devoted to Him? Good parents, we do this for our children, don't we? We give them what they need depending on their state of physical, emotional, spiritual, social, economic development. Are you still in training or have you matured into teacher? At what level of advancement are you? Do you have the POWER by CONSTANT practice, to DISCERN and DISTINGUISH what is good and evil in GODS sight? You, are you ready of solid food? Favour God and you will have all of your needs met and so much more. Study the principles of the oracles of God. We need you as mature teacher Dear Reader. We need you to model this for the children amongst us.
