Today : Really Knowing God
TODAY’S VERSE
“I know the greatness of the Lord.” Psalms 135:5 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Have you ever tried to describe the Grand Canyon to someone who hasn’t been there? Pictures help, your descriptions can get them excited but nothing replaces the real experience. Until they stand on one of the rims and look across the great expanse for themselves, they will not know its majesty. It is the same way with today’s passage. David writes, “I know the greatness of the Lord.” This was observational knowledge—He had seen the Lord in action. It was relational knowledge—He spent quiet time with Him. It was experiential knowledge—He knew the greatness of the Lord because He stepped out in faith trusting God for all his needs. Today, don’t just settle for head knowledge about God. Stop and know the greatness of the Lord!
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me to know You. Help me know Your greatness. Might Your Holy Spirit lead me into a deeper knowledge of You.
AMEN
TODAY’S MEDITATION & VISUALIZATION
I know the greatness of the Lord
Picture yourself with David. You are with Him when Goliath falls. You see God saving you in battle. You are with Him when he is dancing for the Lord. You are in the cave when he spares Saul’s life and trusts God for the outcome. Feel yourself knowing God more and more. Feel His presence alive in your heart. Sense the deep joy as you walk with God with a vibrant living faith. Affirm, “I know the greatest of the Lord!”
