“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Proverbs 4:7(KJV)
The knowledge you possess is useless without understanding. What is understanding? Understanding is the ability to interpret facts. Understanding is meaningful intelligence. This means coming to a point where what you are hearing makes meaning to you.
Child of God, God will only bless you concerning anything you know, to the measure that you understand it. This is why you can observe in the life of two Christians and notice that one of them may be struggling to live right, while the other one is living right without struggles. What is the difference? The one that is able to live right without struggling is able to do so because he understands the Word of God better.
I encourage you to go for understanding, it is one of my primary pursuits in life. It is having understanding that will help you to discern between good and bad according to 1 Kings 3:9. It is good understanding that gives favour according to Proverbs 13:5. Your decisions are based on your level of understanding, and your understanding can empower you to make the right decisions that can preserve your life. The Bible called Abigail a woman of good understanding; this was why she was able to make the decision that preserved not only her life but the life of her entire household from death, and also David from shedding blood See 1 Samuel 25:3-35.
Therefore with all your getting, get understanding.
PRAYER
Dear Father I ask that you fill me with understanding; such understanding that will always help me to discern between good and bad. Grant me good understanding that will give me favour everywhere I go. Thank you for such understanding that will empower me to always make the right decisions in line with the will of God concerning every area of my life, in Jesus Name. Amen.

1 Kings 3:9-13, Psalm 119:99-104.
