"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little."
Isaiah 28:9-10
A good thing to remember this day is that we are children of God. This is a deity that we are talking about, with knowledge way beyond our current capacity to understand. He needs to lay the foundation of knowledge first, and then build upon it... just like a toddler can't understand particle physics in kindergarten, so we can't understand all the things of God instantly. We need to work on it over time, developing faith and learning what the spirit feels like. We need to read our scriptures and pray because these are the basics of learning to communicate with the Lord, and have his Spirit with us. Over time, as the Word gathers in our minds and the Spirit is able to call certain scriptures to our minds, God's word and his instructions can become more complex. Our faith develops and we learn to recognize his voice and presence in other ways.
Today, let's try not to get frustrated with imperfect communication, as we are still imperfect. Instead, let's study and learn how to listen and how to understand, and grow in the knowledge of God, so that we can build on whatever knowledge we already have.
