Today’s Topic: To Know God
Filip Kharchanka (Estonia)
TODAY’S READING
Matthew 23:23-24
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Praying and studying scripture bring me closer to God.
“He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the Lord. – Jeremiah 22:16 (NIV)
As a teenager, I was often asked, “How is your relationship with God?” I was unsure how to respond because I could not hear the voice of God as it seemed others in the church could. Could I sincerely say that I knew God?
I prayed and asked God to speak to my heart.
The more I prayed and studied scripture, the more God worked in my heart. God did not speak to me as often as I wanted, but God did not leave me without an answer.
In Jeremiah 22:16, the prophet tells us what it means to know God: to do what is right and just and to defend the cause of the poor and needy. And Jesus rebuked the Pharisees saying, “You have neglected the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former” (Matt. 23:23). Live and work for truth, justice, goodness, but do not forget prayer and the study of scripture. Then, without a doubt you will be able to say, “I know God!”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for sending answers to our prayers that change our thinking and move us toward a fuller knowledge of who you are and how you call us to live. Amen.
