That You Might Know

That You Might Know…

Paul said, “My goal is that I might know Him.” He didn’t say that I have known Him, but that I might know Him. If Paul, who knew so much of Him, could say “that I might know Him,” how much more should we say that? Paul said, “that I might know Him” as if he didn’t. And it’s true.

There was so much more that he didn’t know, and really knowing God is never ending. Paul actually would be the one chosen to write much of the New Testament, and yet, he can still say that I have yet to know Him.

Those who will truly know God are those who admit that they don’t know half of the story. Those who are open are those who don’t stop seeking. That was the goal of Paul’s life. Let it also be the goal of your life.

Do you have another goal? Take it away to know God – His peace, His love, His presence, His heart, His holiness, His joy, and His glory. It’s a simple goal – the highest goal. Make it your own, that you might know Him.

This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24

Make your goal the same as Paul’s today, “that I might know Him.”

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
