Do you "get it"

Catherine Booth wrote, “I have been reading the New Testament with special reference to the aggressive spirit of Primitive Christianity, and it is wonderful what floods of light come upon you when you read the Bible with reference to any particular topic on which you are seeking help. When God sees you are panting after the light, in order that you may use it, He pours it in upon you. It is an indispensable condition of receiving light that you are willing to follow it. People say they do not see…because they do not wish to see. They are not willing to walk to it, therefore they do not get it; but those who are willing to obey shall have all the light they want.”

This insight begs us to look at our willingness to obey so that we can be among those who “get it” and go forward for Jesus sake.
