Today I am thankful for new insight and “know-how” through the power of prayer to my heavenly Father. With my busy schedule I was asking God how I am going to memorize something I needed to memorize in short time for a project on which I am working. My pastor has constantly reminded his congregation that when we pray don’t just go through the motions but to speak back to God the promises He has already given us authority to speak in His Word when we are in “right-standing” with Him. So I prayed in faith about this memorization dilemma a couple days ago and it was almost instantaneous that He revealed to me what to do. The answer was so clear that I thought, “Of course, why didn’t I think of that on my own?” See, that is the problem—sometimes I can be too self-reliant. Furthermore, I could never have one thought on my own if He did not give me the mental capacity to think. God wants to be first in everything; there should be no place to exalt ourselves above the Source of everything! Getting back to my original point… With God’s answer, in just about a day’s time I practically have the thing memorized without using one bit of downtime to devote solely to memorizing! God I thank you for your wisdom!
But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you. (John 14:26 Amplified)
