THE MORE I KNOW GOD, THE LESS I KNOW HIM

Sirach 18:4-6

Who will measure His majestic power with a number,
And who will add to this measure
While describing His mercies?
There is no one who can add or subtract,
And there is no who can search out the wonders of the Lord.
When a man completes his search, then he starts over;
And when he stops, he will still be perplexed.

Personal Challenge

We live in the information age. Virtually every piece of information that we would like to ingest is at our fingertips. It is so easy to get caught up in this pursuit of information, the pursuit of knowledge, and end up missing the very object that we are studying. We do this so often with God. We read every book we can lay our hands on, read every blog, and listen to recordings and podcasts in this pursuit of knowledge about God... and yet we miss God. God is not in the information. The information is about God. We need to pursue Him, look for Him in His creation, in our neighbor, and in His body of believers. We can still study about Him, but this must be tempered with living in Him. When we do this we will see God, we will know Him better and deeper. And in this, we will realize that the more we know Him (not about Him, we see Gow title we really do know. Glory be to God!
