Know Him

“Therefore, know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” (Deuteronomy 7:9)

How do you view God? What do you suppose He’s like? Whether you realize it or not, the characteristics you attribute to the Lord will shape how you respond to Him. You might just look more like God than you ever thought.

For example, if you see Him as your caring, benevolent, wise, and wonderful heavenly Father who provides for you perfectly, you’ll want to confide in Him and trust His leadership. But if instead you view Him as a distant, stern, legalistic, and self-seeking commander, you may feel it’s your “duty” to report to Him, but your relationship to Him won’t be motivated by love.

Therefore, seek to truly know God through His Word and ask Him to show you who He really is. You will find that the One who formed you is more wonderful than you could possibly imagine and completely worthy of all your time, service, honor, glory, reverence, and praise.

Prayer: Lord God, I want to see You as You really are. Reveal Yourself to me and clear away any misconceptions I have of You. Help me love You more every day.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!
