Shalom,

We have used Hosea 6:3a many times on this blog. The Holy Spirit spoke this verse to my heart many years ago when I was just beginning to seek to know the Lord  more. Here it is:

3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord KJV

WHEN shall we  know the Lord? When we follow on to know! "We follow on" is the Hebrew word "radaph", which means: to run after; to pursue; to chase; to pursue ardently; to aim eagerly to secure. "Ardent" means: passionate, intensely devoted, enthusiastic, zealous, eager. Does THIS describe YOUR desire to know Him more? If not, WHY not? Have you ever seen the advertisement that features what they call "the most interesting man in the world"? Well, this man, made up though he is, does not hold a candle to the wonders of the person of Jesus Christ! HE is THE most interesting, loving, knowledgeable, powerful, exciting, passionate, caring, authoritative, creative, technologically advanced, intimate, heroic, etc., etc., etc., PERSON you will ever hope to meet. AND, He WANTS you to KNOW Him! Paul said this in Philippians 3:10 (AMP), which is also a verse used many, many times on this blog because it is MY desire!

10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection  AMP

AS we get to know Him more, we will also come to know, understand and be able to walk in the POWER of God! This is necessary to be able to set people free from the works and workers of darkness that have so many of them bound! I covered all of this again to prepare you for THIS from today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! Proverbs 2:1-11:

 1 MY SON, if you will receive my words and treasure up my commandments within you, 2 Making your ear attentive to skillful and godly Wisdom and inclining and directing your heart and mind to understanding [applying all your powers to the quest for it]; 3 Yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek [Wisdom] as for silver and search for skillful and godly Wisdom as for hidden treasures, 5 Then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of [our omniscient] God. 6 For the Lord gives skillful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him); He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity, 8 That He may guard the paths of justice; yes, He preserves the way of His saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and fair dealing [in every area and relation]; yes, you will understand every good path. 10 For skillful and godly Wisdom shall enter into your heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to you. 11 Discretion shall watch over you, understanding shall keep you

Once we WANT to know Him, these verses contain the "how to"! I pray that you will make it YOUR determined purpose to KNOW Him! To go hard after pursuing your intimate fellowship with Him, above ALL other people in your life, so that you will be able to know and love THEM even better! AMEN! Here to encourage you in this, is Hillsong Young and Free with "Wake"! Let's get the "fire in our eyes" for Him and His Word and His Ways! HALLELUJAH!

Shalom in Him!
