The Knowledge of God

If you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:4–5

 

The knowledge of God is obtained by the wisdom of God, and the wisdom of God is found in the Word of God. Jesus is the Word (see John chapter 1); so when we see Him, we not only see our Savior but our God. Jesus became flesh and walked among us so He could, among other things, teach us the knowledge of God. So read the gospels of Christ. You will observe the knowledge of God lived out in your Lord.

 

You will learn obedience by understanding and applying His teachings. Obtaining the knowledge of God and applying it that you might experience life transformation is not a passive exercise. It comes from prayer, earnestly seeking to understand the words of the Lord. Knowledge of God is food that satisfies the soul. It is a divine diet of grace and truth.

 

Read and receive the Word of God so you can be transformed by the knowledge of God. Wisdom is the way to knowing God. It is discovered through toil and trust, industry and intimacy, hard work and heaven’s illumination. Like precious metals of silver and gold, the knowledge of God is found in the discipline and determination of mining truth that may be covered over by the dirt of unbelief.

 

Rise up early so you can meditate in the mine shaft with our Lord Jesus, and He shows you the way. As you humbly receive the knowledge of God, make known to others the richness of your discovery. Invest wisdom in others for the sake of God’s kingdom. 

 

Our prayer:  Father God stir in us a desire to know you more and more each day, and to commit to spending time with you that you might reveal yourself and your will to us daily.  In Jesus name amen.
