Knowing and Appreciating God

It is one thing to know about God, but it is quite another to know Him personally. Let us see how this distinction applies when considering some of God's attributes:
1. The thought that God is present everywhere is staggering. To be aware of His presence in times of need brings comfort and hope.
2. The thought that God knows everything is mind-boggling. To have the confidence that no details of our lives escape His attention is to enjoy a peace that endures through every trial.
3. The thought that the Lord is all-powerful makes us marvel at His greatness. To have Him work in, through, and for us encourages us to relax in His mighty arms.
4. The thought that God never changes is a reassuring truth. To commit ourselves to the care of this never-changing One is to know the stability of His faithfulness.
5. The thought that God is love is amazing to contemplate. Knowing Him as a loving Redeemer through personal faith in Jesus Christ brings the joy of sins forgiven.
When we know God, our hearts will be full of praise, which our relationship with Him will reflect. Knowing about God is fascinating. Knowing God is life-changing! So, let us ask ourselves: Do we know God personally? Does it show? — Jeremiah 9:24
