Day 4
Through the Kingdom Gathering Saturday studies, I learned that the Bible has to be read intentionally, slowly, thoughtfully, and with a spiritual mindset in order to gain the understanding and wisdom meant for us. It took our group two years to study and unpack the book of Matthew, which really showed me the value of slowing down and letting Scripture speak. It takes me a minute to read through and interpret the scriptures, and I learn so much by taking the same approach learned through the Kingdom Gatherings.
With that said, there were several things that stood out to me, but two in particular really shaped my understanding:
- Rest doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means trusting God and fully surrendering to Him. God’s rest is about trust, completion, and being in relationship with Him. Trust opens the door to rest, while disbelief and disobedience keep us wandering.
- The flood wasn’t only about destruction; it was a reset. While life was lost, God’s grace was shown through His guidance to Noah. The flood became a turning point, giving humanity a chance to start over and find its way back to God. It ended with a new covenant marked by the rainbow, reminding us that God chooses mercy over destruction and that His ultimate goal is always restoration.
