It has been said that nuggets of God\u2019s truth are discovered by hammering away at the Word through prayer.\u00a0\u00a0I offer that we need no hammer, we need discipline, faith and love.\u00a0\u00a0We need discipline to first seek God and to ask Him to unveil His Word to us.\u00a0\u00a0We need faith to believe that God is good and that He loves us and because that is so, He will reveal His Word to us.\u00a0\u00a0Prayer is not a hammer to bang loose nuggets of truth from His Word.\u00a0\u00a0That is too much self-effort.\u00a0\u00a0Prayer is designed to be regularly used and the more it is used the more proficient at it the user becomes.\u00a0\u00a0Prayer is a God designed device and faith is the oil that lubricates it.\u00a0\u00a0We do not need to bang or pry God\u2019s truth from the Word.\u00a0\u00a0We need to remember that The Lord wants us to have the riches of His wisdom and knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s why He gave it us His Word in the first place.\u00a0\u00a0He freely gives it to those who love him and seek Him.\u00a0\u00a0So we pray that the Lord will reveal His Word to us, then we open and read it, knowing that God has heard our prayer, found it to be good, and He gives us what we have prayed for.\u00a0\u00a0Easy Peasy!\u00a0\u00a0He loves that!\u00a0\u00a0Praise God!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
