“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).
Our world believes anything about God except that which is clearly revealed in scripture.
People say, “Here’s what I believe about God,” and it has nothing to do with what the Bible tells us about who God is. In fact, most of the time it contradicts the character and the nature of God revealed to us in his word.
Hello?!?! Isn’t this a bit of a problem?
You can’t go around telling me you know me and that I am like this and I am like that based on your wishful thinking. If you want to get to know me and my character, you have to get to know me.
That’s how it works with everything.
So, if you want to know God, it’s not about what you think God is like, or what you feel God is like…None of that matters. If you want to know God, you have to go to God. You have to look at his word.
Now, here is the kicker. Not only does our world believe anything about God except what is clearly revealed in God’s word, but the modern day church is starting to go down that same pathway. YIKES!!!!!
GET IN GOD’S WORD.
There is a problem when people believe whatever they want about God. That’s a problem. That’s a really big problem. Knowing God starts with knowing God’s word.
So, good on you for starting your day with God’s word.
