Do You Know God?

For those who are checking this today... I thank you and I am so blessed that you are encouraged enough by this to check it without an email reminder. The only purpose I have in sharing this weekly devotional thought is to encourage and edify the body of Christ. I pray that what I share here will be completely saturated in God's Word. I pray that God will by His Spirit guard your heart from any error that may come from my understanding. I want to point you to God's Word. 

Do not substitute reading this blog post for the sanctifying truth that is the Scriptures. Be in the Word! We must spend time with God if we hope to know Him. God speaks to us through His Word. Right now I am reading through the gospels. You can find reading plans on websites like...

I was encouraged just yesterday by someone with the thought... 10, 10, 10

This means to spend 10 mins reading God's Word, 10 mins praying to God, and 10 mins listening to Him in quite solitude. This is a strategic way to spend 30 minutes with God. Do this everyday. I suggest that you do it in the morning... if you already do this...

try... 20, 20, 20! Keep growing! We can't know God without spending time with God! 

With this said... I want to ask for your forgiveness that I am not prepared to share a deeper devotional thought today. In a effort to only edify the body of Christ I will never post something that I have not spent enough time grasping myself. I pray that God will use this short message to encourage all who read it. Anything else would be a waste of time. 

Suggested Scripture Reading: Proverbs 3:5-6, 4:23

I plan to post a devotional for this week by Friday... I will send an email to those who I have an address. 

Blessings!
