Come let us continue to lift up our heroes, our nation, our churches, or allys ... thank you
When our granddaughter Sarah was very young, she told us she wanted to be a basketball coach like her daddy when she grew up. But she couldnt be one yet, she said, because first she had to be a player; and a player has to be able to tie her shoelaces, and she couldnt tie hers yet!
First things first, we say. And the first thing in all of life is to know God and enjoy Him.
Acknowledging and knowing God helps us to become what we were meant to be. Here is King Davids counsel to his son Solomon: Know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind (1 Chron. 28:9).
Remember, God can be known. He is a Person, not a logical or theological concept. He thinks, wills, enjoys, feels, loves, and desires as any person does. A. W. Tozer writes, He is a person and can be known in increasing degrees of intimacy as we prepare our hearts for the wonder of it. Ah, theres the rub: We must prepare our hearts.
The Lord is not playing hard to know; those who want to know Him can. He will not foist His love on us, but He does wait patiently, for He wants to be known by you. Knowing Him is the first thing in life.
Read: Galatians 6:1-10
