There are times in our life when we have an inner desire to seek the Word of God in a deeper way.We study the scriptures, pray, and respond more to the voice of God in our lives. At these times, God grants us revelations about His Word. and we have a more spiritual understanding about our life in Christ.
During these times, we cannot stop doing the everyday living in faith. We cannot separate the new understanding from basics. We still need to fellowship with other believers and listen to them. While we dig deeply into the Word for understanding, we still need to read and enjoy the stories of God
2 Timothy 3:14-15 But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.[nkjv]
Very often, people reach this stage of their growth in Christ, they stop doing the basics. Many Christians leave their churches because the rest of the congregation does not understand the spiritual things they have learned.
They stop reading the Bible for the joy of hearing God's story, spending all there time studing or looking for some spiritual revelation that others do not have.
When you reach that time in your spiritual walk, that time when God gives you the desire to see Him more clearly, "do not forget the basics."
Continue in the life God has given you.
A life of faith, walking in His ways, and doing the things He has called you to do.
Be Careful for nothing
Be Prayful for everything
Be Thankful for anything
In His Service
