Matthew Henry

from Matthew Henry’s commentary of 2 Timothy 2:1-7 (particularly v. 7)

“The Lord give thee understanding in all things. Observe, It is God who gives understanding. The most intelligent man needs more and more of this gift. If he who gave the revelation in the word does not give the understanding in the heart, we are nothing. Together with our prayers for others, that the Lord would give them understanding in all things, we must exhort and stir them up to consider what we say, for consideration is the way to understand, remember, and practise, what we hear or read.”

((Father, by your grace, may we have understanding in the heart))
