Shalom,

Today I am sharing the devotional from Jerry Savelle Ministries website:

Knowing Is Trusting

And they who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You. Psalm 9:10 AMPC

Knowing God intimately is the key to trusting Him with your present cares and the uncertainty of your future. Knowing God intimately is the key to mountain-moving faith.

Faith is not a formula; it is a friendship. Faith is simply believing God. To have faith in God simply means you trust Him and have confidence in Him.

God has not distanced Himself from you in an effort to make it difficult for you to get to know Him. His arms are outstretched to you today, inviting you to come to Him and experience what you were created for: intimacy with Him.

Getting to know God better is no different from getting to know a friend better. You hang out with them more, you open your heart to them more. You listen to them, and you make an effort to bless them and do what makes them happy.

By meditating on Scriptures that talk about the character of God—His love, mercy, compassion, kindness, and goodness—you will find yourself drawing closer to Him. Knowing God more intimately will build your ability to trust Him with your past, your present, and your future.

Confession: Heavenly Father, I desire to know You more intimately, and I commit to spending quality time with You. As I meditate on Your Word, I thank You for giving me a fresh revelation of Your character and love.

AMEN! Hosea 6:3 says:  Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

When will we know HIM more? When we follow on to know! Make it YOUR determined purpose to KNOW HIM! You will never regret that decision! Here is a favorite song of mine by Hillsong called "Every Breath":

Shalom in Him!
