DIVINE KNOWLEDGE

Hosea 6:3

Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD; as certain as the dawn is his coming, and his judgment shines forth like the light of day!

Throughout our lives, we try to learn something, if not, everything. As a baby, we try to learn to walk and to talk. As little kids, we undergo potty training, we learn how to write, we learn how to read as we learn the ABC’s. Then there are the elementary days and the high school years – all dedicated to learning and gaining new knowledge. And who can forget college time as we prepare ourselves for the corporate world. Still, we need to read and read and read, gaining the knowledge and experience we need to survive.

And once we have all the knowledge we want, then what? How about knowing God? How about spending some of your time understanding Who He is? Not only can anyone of us know the Lord and the Creator of everything that exists. He even invites - even urges - each one of us, to know Him intimately, personally and deeply.

God is the ultimate reality, and as the Apostle Paul says “from Him and for Him and to Him are all things, to Him be the glory forever.” Those who genuinely desire to know Him (as He really is) are never disappointed. In fact, knowing God is the easiest thing in the world, easier than “one plus one” or “what is the next letter after A.” Start knowing God. And know Him more as we pursue the knowledge of the LORD.

1. Recognize that you are a sinner.
2. Recognize that Jesus Christ died in the cross for you.
3. Repent of your sins.
4. Accept Jesus as your Savior.

Almighty Father, may You give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation so we may know You more. Enlighten our eyes, understanding fully that all knowledge came from and existed within You. Kindly share us Your knowledge, making us aware of what is meant to be, permitting our souls to understand it and the wisdom to agree with its outcome. Provide us with the gift of discretion to prudently apply the knowledge we received thereby ensuring the fulfillment of Your Will.

The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. – Frank Herbert (novelist)
