Let me approach you differently today but still speak directly to your heart. Dear friend, you have a decision to make every time that God sends you a specific message, a message with no details omitted, but clearly specified in His communication to you. Listen! Don’t miss the details in the message! The decision you have to make is clear when you look at two Biblical passage relevant to paying attention to details. The decision: Will you be like Noah, who built an ark? Or will you be like Moses, and instead of speaking to the rock, you strike the rock?
Meditate on the words below, taken from God’s inspired word, and pray for the Spirit to help you have rich understanding in regard to details. And having understanding, as you go forward in life, do your best to make the right decision…paying attention to the details. Be blessed!
“And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark and cover it inside and outside with pitch. And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.” (Genesis 6:13-16 New King James Version)
“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.’ So, Moses took the staff from the Lord’s presence, just as he commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, ‘Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?’ Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.’ (Numbers 20: 7-12 New International Version)
Committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
This is a clear message to pay attention to the details instead of summarizing the word for our own convenience. The word won’t benefit us if we don’t follow the detail. It’s also important to pray for understanding. I will keep that in mind going forward.
Progressively all believers who study the word get better in time, if they spend time. Hmmm! Maybe that is a brief meditation! Bless you!
