12/7/2010 - Hosea 6:3 The Greatest Knowledge

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Hosea 6:3 Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

OBSERVATION: There is nothing in the universe more important and profound than knowing God. What is the key to this "knowing"? Desire, commitment, willingness to make the pursuit of this knowledge our greatest preoccupation. God responds not to the cynic, not to the causual pursuer, not to intellectual reflector but only to the earnest seaker. It is when we "seek Him with all our hearts" that we will find Him. There is no greater knowledge.

APPLICATION: I want to know God but sometimes I am spritually ADHD--everything distracts me: worry, pleasure, hyper-activity, tiredness. I want to focus on the knowledge of Him alone.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a hunger and thirst for You that will not be satisfied by anything else. Teach me to hate the things that would get in the way of this pure and invaluable knowledge.
