Do You Know God?



Today's Monday Manna
is hosted by Joanne Sher
at An Open Book.
We are focusing on this verse -


"But let him who glories, glory in this -
That he understands and knows Me,
that I am the LORD,
exercising lovingkindness,
judgment, and righteousness in the earth -
for in these I delight."
(Jeremiah 9:24, NKJV )





I know a lot of people.

My family teases me because I have many more friends on Facebook than they have. My husband asks me, "Do you know all those people?"

Some of them are in my writing group. We share an interest. I only know their names. I have acquaintances - those I've met through my children or a mutual friend, people who live in my town. There are others I know a bit more - students, teachers, extended family, and neighbors. Of course, I know my family and closer friends. I know their birthdays and their interests. I know how to make them laugh and when they are feeling low. Best of all, I know my husband. I know what is thinking without him saying a word. I know how he feels about things. I know how he will react to certain circumstances.

It's been said, "It's not what you know, but who you know."

I can brag that know the author of the "Left Behind" books and the president of Bibles International Mission. Some people brag that they know a movie star or sports celebrity.


God says,
"But let him who glories, glory in this -
That he understands and knows Me,
that I am the LORD,
exercising lovingkindness,
judgment, and righteousness in the earth -
for in these I delight."
(Jeremiah 9:24, NKJV )


God wants us to know Him - to know His will, to know how He feels about things, to know His lovingkindness and righteousness.

Do you know God?
