Knowing God, Do We Really Know Him

God is eternal always and forever(a) has no beginning and will have no end in His holy word has revealed Himself to be God almighty our forever friend One can never know God too well so daily exposure to God's living word(b) is a real necessity to grow in grace to neglect His word is truly absurd Learning biblical meditation is so vital(c) to chew on God's truth to deeply intake grasping His truth and all it means feeding on God's word for my soul's sake Taking your Lord with you everywhere never be embarrassed by what anyone says keeping in step with His eternal word be faithful to Jesus all your days(d) Consider well my reading of the scriptures(e) to depend on the holy spirit's direction(f) be sure I'm walking in Jesus holy steps(f) aim always listen to His gracious correction (Bible references : (a) Psalm 90: 2 (b) Joshua 1: 8 (c) Psalm 19: 14 (d) Deuteronomy 7: 9 (e) Psalm 1: 2 (f) Romans 15: 13) I've written this after pondering on the following appraisal of knowing God and whether if I really do? Have you read the Bible from cover to cover? Is the Holy Spirit your teacher? Are you walking in His footsteps? The Word of God is not a buffet for us to pick and choose what we wish. God is the Word, so do you honestly love all of it and meditate on it with the goal of knowing Him so you can live according to His commandments while you abide in Him?)

Each time I read Bible passages I get something new from them. I like to believe that if we keep God in our hearts, he will give us direction. Enjoyed the way you included the Biblical references, Gordon. Excellent writing! Hugs, Carolyn

We can never see God as He really is, especially considering his immensity. We can only discern Him by his creations.

I believe studying scripture is our best hope. Also during quiet moments I feel closest to God. Still we lack the capacity to fully comprehend God. Yet it is important to stretch our understanding. Blessings Rick.
