This morning I was interested in Jeremiah's statement
' to judge the cause of the poor
and needy so that it goes well with them....
is to Know God....' ref Jer 22:16
To know God...
A couple of days ago I pondered another verse
about knowing God....
That it is better to Know Him
Than to be wise, strong or rich... ref Jer 9:23,24
What is it about my involvement with the poor and needy
that brings me to a place of
KNOWING God...?
Hmm...
Deuteronomy 10:18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
As I engage in what He engages in
I begin to Know what His Heart is touched by....
.... and I Know Him more....
Hmm....
So Lord,
I am curious...
What does that look like for me today...?
Do I pursue the marginalized
or do I respond to those on my path....?
Both?...
Hmm...
Lord, I want to Know You more.
Here I go.... signing up for
Knowing 101
Yeah :)
