Understanding the Way: Meditating on God’s Word

Understanding the Way: Meditating on God’s Wonders: by Jeannie Walker | JW Forged in Faith Ministry

✝️🔥⚔️ Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works. ~ Psalm 119:27 (ESV)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

There are times when we find ourselves standing in the middle of something we don’t fully understand. Maybe it’s a painful season, a confusing transition, or a battle we never saw coming. And in those moments, we can either strive to fix it all ourselves or we can pause and do what the psalmist did …ask God for understanding. 

✝️ Psalm 119:27 is a prayer I find myself returning to often:

Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works.

This isn’t just about seeking clarity. It’s about asking God to teach our hearts to trust Him before we see the full picture. It’s about learning to pause and remember to meditate on His wonders and blessings, even when life feels messy.

Sometimes We Don’t Need a New Answer We Just Need a New Focus!

It’s easy to feel like we need an explanation to move forward. But the Lord Jesus often invites us to simply look back at what He’s already done.

He’s saying:

“Child, I’ve brought you through before. Look at My wonders. Don’t forget how I’ve shown up for you throughout every day of your life.”

✝️🔥⚔️ I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. ~Psalm 77:11

When we meditate on who He is, that’s when we remember how faithful, powerful, and merciful He’s always been—our questions don’t feel so heavy. The fear loses its grip. And even if we don’t understand the why, we can trust the Who. ✝️👑💪🏼

🕊️Understanding Grows in Surrender

Asking for understanding is not weakness it’s spiritual maturity. It takes humility to admit we don’t see clearly and to invite God into the fog. And He honors that kind of heart.

✝️🔥⚔️ The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. ~ Psalm 119:130

God is not offended by your need for clarity. He’s not surprised by your confusion. But He doesn’t always give explanations. Sometimes, He gives His presence. He gives His peace. He gives us His strength to keep going, even when the answers don’t come quickly or how we want them.

❤️‍🩹 What Happens When We Meditate on His Wonders?

We begin to change. To Transform by letting go of old ways, old mindset, old thought patterns.

Not just emotionally, but spiritually, mentally and physically. Our hearts start to soften. Our eyes begin to see Him in the small things again. That’s what meditation on His Word and His works does, it realigns us with His goodness, purpose and will.

✝️🔥⚔️ Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. ~ Psalm 111:2

When you slow down long enough to think about what He’s done in your life, really think on it… you realize He never stopped being good, He never stopped showing up for you. You may not have seen the full picture yet, but you’ve seen His fingerprints. And that’s enough to keep trusting.

A Prayer for Understanding

Father God,

Teach me Father God. Not just about my current situation, but about You Lord Jesus. I don’t want shallow answers, I want deeper relationship and trust with You.

Heavenly Father, open my heart and mind to understand the way of Your precepts. Remind me of the wonders You’ve already done in my life and all that You have delivered me from.

Let Your Holy Spirit calm every fear and doubt that comes to steal, kill and destroy.

I give You the confusion, the hurts, the traumas and in return, I receive Your unfailing love and peace.

Even when I don’t see the whole path, I still choose to walk by faith in You Lord Jesus. I choose to stand bold and courageous against every scheme, lure, lie, vice, temptation and every evil seen and unseen of the enemy satan. With the full armor of God in place, the enemy doesn’t have a chance!

In Jesus’ holy and mighty name, we pray, Amen and Amen.

✝️🪽❤️‍🩹💪🏼 You don’t have to understand everything to move forward. You just need to be willing to pause, submit everything to God, to seek Him, get into His Word and to remember that He is still God of wonders and miracles! He is faithful to lead you every step of the way. In His Grace and Mercy, your sister in Christ Jesus,

With all my love,
