It seems to me the first thing we realize when we become saved, freed, redeemed, is that we are nothing without Him, that our knowledge and wisdom that holds any merit are divinely given and that ultimately we are NOT to lean on our own understanding.
So when we are spreading the good news, I believe we should lead with our humility and His Glory. He is the way, not us, not even our own understanding of Him is. We do best when we lean on His all knowing, not ours.
So we point to the word, the author of our Salvation. Are we to grow in our knowledge, to seek and find Him? Yes, but again through Him and only Him. I think the first step is to acknowledge our complete dependency on Him in EVERY WAY!! He is our Hope and He is our every breath. He is the ONLY way. He will guide us into the understanding He sees fit, when He sees fit. He tells us the complete unveiling is NOT for today, but will someday be our portion. I am excited. So while, I yearn to understand more, because He is so much more than fascinating, His grace is sufficient. I will not take from His throne, insisting I need to know all, or even worse, presume I already know all that is to know because of my interpretation of the word thus far. How foolish that would be.
I wait on You Lord, and ask that You pardon my weaknesses as I muddle through my limited understanding and ask that You allow me to touch Your garment of Victory. I stay at Your feet because I am Your Servant and honored to know you in my heart. You and Your word are the joy and rejoicing of my heart. You are so much more than enough.
