Have you had your JOY JUICE
today? As you walk through this day,
walk in joyful wisdom!
What
does mean to walk in wisdom? Charles
Stanley writes that “as we walk in
wisdom, we see God’s hand at every turn. We know He is with us. We become more and more
familiar with His voice…His prompting…His leading…His tug at our hearts. We don’t merely know more about God—rather,
we truly come to KNOW GOD in a deeper and more intimate way.”
I once hear a pastor say that the difference
between knowing about God and knowing God is about 12 inches….the distance
between your brain and your heart! How true!
We can know all kinds of facts and history; we can memorize scripture
and be in Sunday School every week. We
can earn perfect attendance awards, be present at all the church services and activities.
We can know a lot about God—but to know Him, is a condition of the heart.
“For it is by grace
you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the
gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
Knowing God
is a gift that we receive from accepting Him as our personal Savior and Lord of
our lives. We allow Him to guide us in
our decision making, our words, our reactions.
We desire to become more like Him by studying His Word and applying the
scriptures to our daily lives. And we
MUST be still and listen for His voice as He speaks to our heart.
Seek to KNOW HIM and find joy inexpressible!
