And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19
Those of you who know me know that I am a thinker and an analyzer. Just about every night I lay in my bed for at least an hour or two thinking. I love listening to preachers and reading books and studying the bible because it all stimulates my mind and my thoughts. But this question has kept coming back to me over and over again; do you know God? Sure I know a fair amount of things about God, but do I know Him? When was the last time you truly felt his presence? When was the last time you were still and took time to get to know God?
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately (imagine that) about the World Race, God’s calling on my life, and a multitude of other things. And I get so caught up in all of these things that I forget God!! So right now to be completely honest I am very tired of many things, especially religious things, driven by obligation rather than love and reverence. All that I want is to know God and to make God known. So now I’m back to square one; why are you going on the World Race? There are many reasons, but the most important is to meet God in a new way, and share Him with whomever I happen to meet.
Have you asked yourself this question, do I know God?
Consider what Paul says in Philippians
I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
Do you know God?
