Knowing God - He Knows Our Frame



Ps 103:14

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.


Here we learn that the Lord knows how we are constructed.  He knows what pressures seem to really put a strain on us and He knows that we are mere men in and of ourselves.  This is a great comfort.  We do not have to explain ourselves to the Lord.  He knows we are but dust.  He created us.  We can be at peace knowing the Lord is more familiar with our structure than we ourselves.  He is a God who deals with us as created beings and He loves us.  He is the one who formed man from the earth and gave man his life.  We are being cared for by someone who understands and knows our weaknesses and will NEVER take advantage of those.  Thank You Lord that You know our frame and we are in the hands of a tender and understanding God!

Knowing God - God Wants us to Understand



Dan 8:16

 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.                                                             


Daniel had a vision and then sought the meaning of the vision.  The Lord sent Gabriel to make Daniel understand the vision.  This means that the Lord hears when we seek to understand a vision.  This verse also reveals that the Lord sends angels to help us understand visions.  The neat thing about the Lord is that He wants us to understand.  Proverbs 14:6b tells us; “…knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.”  When we understand something it becomes knowledge we can use and share with others.  Our God wants us to not just be able to repeat what He says to us but be in a place where we understand and know it.  He will send His angel, His Holy Spirit, His teachers, His messengers, make us to understand.  Don’t be frustrated if you don’t understand, anticipate understanding being given to you.
