March 27 Knowing the Heart of God 1 Corinthians 13:11-13 Most people long to be understood. We may have many acquaintances, but we all have a deep need to feel truly known by those we love most. This is because we were created in Gods image--He also desires to be intimately understood and loved by us. Just as you dont want to be known for only the superficial details of who you appear to be, its not enough to know about the Lord. He wants us to learn how He thinks and feels, whats important to Him, and what His purposes are. Of course, its impossible for man to completely know the mind of the Creator of the universe. In Isaiah 55:9, He tells us, As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. The depth and breadth of His mind is so great we will never be able to fully grasp it in this lifetime. However, we can better understand Gods heart and character by seeking Him and learning day by day from His Word. If we genuinely desire to walk in His ways, we must first genuinely know Him. We come to know our friends better by sharing more experiences together. Similarly, we will also understand God better the longer we walk with Him and meditate on what He has revealed about Himself in the Bible. God wants you to seek Him with all your heart, and He promises that when you do, you will find Him (Jer. 29:13). So, the next time youre feeling a need to be better understood, turn to the One who understands you perfectly. Even more importantly, ask Him to help you know Him better.
