How Well Do You Know God?

In my last blog I alluded to Psalm 46:10, "Be still and Know that I am God." In that blog I mostly concentrated on the being still part. Today I want to share what I hope will help you understand the "know" part.

God is so big that most of us feel so tiny and insignificant in His presence. We feel as if we will never know enough about God to be considered wise. I pray for wisdom almost every day and to be honest I don't think I make much headway! Actually, just when I think I am making progress I do something really stupid and wonder why God doesn't just give up on me. I guess, if nothing else, my blunders keep me humble!

But when I think about getting to know God, it really helps me to think about it in the same way I think about my good friends. Think about your best friend. How did you get to be best friends? You got to that point by spending time together talking, listening, sharing your heart with each other most likely. Over time you grew so close that you began to really trust each other and depend on each other. It didn't happen all at once.

The same is true with our relationship with God. We can't ever know Him if we don't spend time with Him. We need to talk with Him daily and not just do all the talking...but listen as well. Listen to what He is saying to our heart and mind. We can trust Him completely and share our deepest thoughts and desires and just like our best friend He will be there for us. And, what is even better is that, unlike our human buddy, He will never, ever let us down!

Again, Psalm 46:10 advises us to: "Be still and know that I am God."

Let's try to get to know Him even better this week! Have a great one!
