Knowing God
Knowing God is easy. We may think we are the one searching for God. Far from the truth, it is God Himself initiating the search for us. The word of God is very clear, all it takes is “to repent and believe.” Meaning, we must let God take control of our life. We must learn that; it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance and it is by the word of God that we hear that leads us to believe.
It is very important for us to understand that God has always been revealing himself to those that He wants to show mercy and compassion;
Many times God has shown Himself to us right at our own face.
Many times God has spoken to us in easy words to hear.
Many times God is just right beside us.
Many times God is the soft breeze of the wind that touches our skin.
Many times God is a deafening silence in our loneliness.
Many times God is a stranger who gave us words of wisdom when we are in need.
Many times God is a sweltering heat that stopped us from doing something bad.
Many times God is a small still voice telling us what to do.
Many times God is an earthquake that shakes us to the foundation of our belief.
Many times God is an unceasing storm that never lets go.
Many times God is an annoying sense of uneasiness.
Many times God is a sense of urgency of doing things with enthusiasm.
But, many times we just can not make out of these experiences. We just can not understand. Maybe, all it takes is a little faith. Then our faith will grow into a fuller knowledge of God. We must let God open our eyes that we may see and let God open our ears that we may hear.
Yes! my dear Subi (my granddaughter is trying to get my attention), God is God. That’s who He is. He is and will tell us His will. His Words are clear and precise. Follow and obey. Let God be God. He will do all things (All means all) and accomplish all things (All means all) for His glory. No one and no man and not any of man’s devices can prevent Him from doing His Will. Men may mean to do things for evil but God meant it to bring about good to accomplish His purpose. He is the God we worship.
All things came into being because God created all things (All means all). It means we owe Him our very existence. The life we lived must be a life to live for His glory and His glory alone. We must give back our life to Him.
All things belong to God (All means all). It means all that we have is ours because of God’s goodness and benevolence (All means all). All our cherish possession, all that we love, all that we value, all that makes us happy: God gave them all to us. We must give them back to God.
Finally, God is our Redeemer. We have come to know God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God. His life and teachings is the Word made flesh. His miracles are touched of God’s compassion and mercy. The outpouring of His blood at the cross cleanses us from all our sins and unrighteousness. His death and resurrection sets us free from the bondage of sin and death. “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.”
God is revealing Himself. Will this fall on deaf ears? Do you have eyes but can not see? Do you have ears but can not hear? Maybe, it is not because of little faith but the lack of faith. I wonder!
