..on knowing him

Jeremiah
9:23-24
This is
what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast
of his strength or the rich
man boast of his riches,
but let
him who boasts boast about this: that he understands
and knows me, that I am the
LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these
I delight," declares the LORD. (NIV)
If
I ask you who the Lord is in your life, how many facets of God have you
discovered about Him in your lifetime?
We
go through life learning (wisdom), staying fit and healthy (strength), and
using what we learned and our capabilities to gain wealth (riches). and by the
end of the day, we feel spent…for some they feel a momentarily sense of peace
for being successful. Our days are filled of the many tasks that lead us to a
life that put God on the sidelines. We run our race, but not for the purpose of
winning it for Christ. We run, and go to God when we just feel thirsty and
desperate.
God
said he delights when we UNDERSTAND and KNOW Him.
How
much of our days are spent just trying to know God?
Lord,
forgive us when we go through life forgetting that our sole purpose why we live
is to glorify and worship you.. forgive us for pursuing KNOWLEDGE, STRENGTH,
and WEALTH, and forgetting that KNOWING You is what delights You.
