Day 2 (Nov. 18)

Instruction manuals are useful tools. Whether you’re putting together a t.v. stand or trying to program the radio in your car, instruction manuals can be vital assets. Many people rush ahead without manuals and end up embarrassing themselves and taking more time than is required to accomplish a goal.

If manuals are important for simple, physical items like radios, imagine how important a manual would be for something as complex as the mystery of Christ. Christ Himself, being God, is infinitely complex; thus even what we know of Him is a mystery, and is only obtained by God’s revealing it to us through His word: the Bible. Although anyone can comprehend the facts shown in the Bible, God reserves the ability to comprehend the mysteries of the Bible for His chosen people, for they are “spiritually appraised.” “He who is spiritual appraises all things…” This happens as God reveals His mysterious truth to you in meditation of Him and His word.


*Find a secluded place that you don’t often visit and meditate on Ephesians 3:1-12.


“Tremble, and do not sin. Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.”
- Psalm 4:4

“Cease striving and know that I am God…”
- Psalm 46:10a

“My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will be understanding.”
- Psalm 49:3
