The Blessing of Spiritual Understanding

"Blessed are those who find wisdom,
and those who find understanding.
For there is more profit in it than silver
and it is worth more than fine gold.

She is more valuable than precious jewels;
and nothing you desire can be compared to her.
Long life is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
and blessed are those who wait for her.

The Lord by His wisdom created the earth;
by His understanding He established the heavens.
By His knowledge He caused the rivers to flow
and the clouds drop down the dew.

Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom;
and in all your getting get understanding."

(Proverbs 3:13-20 & 4:7)


I shared this scripture with you in the format of a poem because as I read various versions of it I noticed most bibles translated the word understanding as "insight". This means when we seek spiritual understanding we are really asking God to give us "spiritual insight".

So in addition to my creative way of conveying this "insightful" message from the book of Proverbs to you poetically, I've also included a video below to one of my favorite gospel songs, "Speak To My Heart", which re-enforces the message above. It is most popularly known by Donnie McClurkin. However, the version I've attached below is by R&B hit singer Faith Evans whom I think did an equally soul stirring rendition of the song.



As you absorb the words of both messages I pray you will do so with an open heart. By doing so may you receive the wisdom, insight, and spiritual understanding from God to direct your path in whatever situation you may be going through.

Until next time...I salute the Divinity in you and surround you in Love & Light.
