Know Him

Do you want more and more of God's kindness and peace? Then learn to know him better. For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life: He even shares his own glory and His own goodness with us"
(2 Peter 1:2-3, TLB)


Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Are you determined to know God today? Not just hear about Him, or read about Him, but really know Him personally. The Bible tells us that God is love. He is peace. He is Truth. When you get to know God, you come to know and experience His love, peace, and truth in your life. In the same way that you get to know someone in the natural by spending time in their presence and talking with them, you get to know God by spending time in His presence and talking with Him. And He's closer than you think! The Bible says that when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He actually makes His home in our own hearts! No matter where you are on the planet, when you begin talking to God, He promises to listen. He wants you to know He promises to reveal Himself to you. As you come to know God more and more you will experience His peace, kindness, and strength and victory in every area of your life!

A Prayer for Today

Father in Heaven, I desire to know you more. Show me your goodness and grace today. Teach me to hear your voice more clearly so that I can draw closer to you. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
