knowing more! A good thing or a bad thing!!

Sometimes we just want to know more information, more detail! Interestingly enough, we don't normally feel this way about Him, you know....the Lord of lords and the King of kings? Kind of like a marriage we think we have this partner all figured out don't we?? Yet the Scriptures say...that is not the case.  Rather  the Scriptures have said from the Old Testament to the New...that a lack of knowledge has been our destruction.

Hosea 4:6New International Version (NIV)

6     my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

“Because you have rejected knowledge,
    I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
    I also will ignore your children.

Hmmmmm kind of sounds like you and me doesn't it?? Have you ever prayed...ha ha..barely prayed and then marched forward with plans that were not God's? Have you ever ignored His laws??  Ever?? Just like Jonah, we are God's people, and we love to ignore the greatest of His laws...the one about obeying Him!! 

Furthermore, we think that knowledge of Him doesn't really pan out too much gold!!! In Romans we read, 

Romans 1:28New International Version (NIV)

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

However, if all of this incriminating evidence right out of God's mouth is not enough...God comes right out and tells you and I that even if we thought knowledge of Him was awesome and worthwhile, we could never know the depths of our God. 

Romans 11:33New International Version (NIV)

Doxology

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and^[a] knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!

I don't know about you...but I know, because He tells me so, that the Love of God and the Knowledge of God are completely inexhaustible!! 

So, take time praying..take time knowing Him and know that you don't know enough of your Savior and that's a good thing!! He just keeps us singing doesn't He?  He just keeps surprising us right? Go out today full of new wonder and surprise!!
