Stephanie's Musings...
There is a Christian Song that I am particularly fond of by the band Addison Road. The name of the song is, "What Do I Know of Holy?"
In the song she sings of her life as she has been learning and growing in the LORD. All the things that she thought she knew about God and how He is so faithful to show us that we actually don't really know Him at all. Have ou found yourself in that place?
As we travel through the seasons of our relationship with our Father, He gives us snippets of Himself. But then, we have a tendency to take off with that and think we have all the answers when in reality we only see a glimpse.
In the chorus of the song you hear the words; "What I know of You who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean? Are You Fire? Are You Fury? Are You Sacred? Are You Beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?" The truth in those words just astonish me. Our God is amazing and we have barely grasped that truth. We barely stand at the edge of His ocean and then, in our vanity, proclaim we know Him so well. What do we really know?
By the end of this life I will know a small fraction of the greatness of our LORD. My desire is to continue to learn and to be a student of God Almighty. As God takes us through the seasons of our lives, weaving Himself in and out and wooing us to Himself, we see more and more of Him. Oh, to be so loved by the Father!
Take a minute, in fact take a few, and ponder what you have learned about God. Do you want to know more? Oh how I pray you are not satisfied with what you know. I pray that your soul is thirsty and desires to know the Father. So how do we get to know Him better?
The best way to know Him is through Jesus! In fact, the only way to know Him is through Jesus. Get into yur Bible. Get into a sound Bible Study, one you can do independently or with a group. Listen to Christian music. Find a good solid Christian radio station. Make sure you are sitting in church worshipping with other believers and praising God. Sunday School is a great place to learn more. You did notice the school part right? School - learning...Get into His Word every day and work on your prayer life constantly. Talk to Your Father - have a relationship,. If you are doing all of the above all the time we still will most likely be standing on the shore of His ocean. But oh how we will be blessed by His presence and oh how our souls will leap as the Spirit guides and counsels us. Ask yourself, "Where am I in my relationship with God?" "Where can I grow?" "What do I want to know more about?" Then as much as is possible go ater it! Seek, look, praise, acknowledge, ask, and then start again.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty Who was and is and is to come. The love of our lives is standing there with arms outstretched.
WALK IN!

Love,

3:16 • The Numbers of Hope • The message of 3:16
A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same.
Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment,
yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
