Beyond Comprehension

Some perceptive educator rightfully placed reading in the three R’s of early education. Readin`opens doors to Ritin`and Rithmetic.’

Consistent testing not only reveals a child’s ability to retain knowledge but also to comprehend the material they read.

How much of God’s word do I comprehend and retain?

The Apostle Paul knew the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and the written word. His preaching and prayers contained pleas for believers to comprehend.

“[I pray] that He may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. [I pray that] you being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and width, height and depth, and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19 HCSB).”

God’s love is beyond man’s comprehension. Yet, He has clearly revealed His love, authority and will; if ignored, we’re without excuse.

“For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse (Romans 1:20 HCSB).”

God is still revealing Himself!

“No one has ever seen God.
The One and Only Son—
the One who is at the Father’s side—
He has revealed Him (John 1:18 HCSB).”
