A Word of Encouragement

I Know It's Under There - Feb 2018

Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

After passport/visa issues and then a broken tooth last night, it seems like God was telling me to postpone my trip to Ika tomorrow. Even so I cling to Jeremiah 29:11 - He knows His plans for each of us!

This morning, reading John's gospel, this verse stood out.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not know Him.
	John 1:10

"The world did not know Him."

My lesson plan for Ika Bible School is based on Jesus words to His Father:

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
	John 17:3

God, who knows us fully, WANTS us to know Him like He knows us! (1 Corinthians 13:12) That is why Jesus came into the world.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
	2 Corinthians 5:19

What is our response? Do we dedicate ourselves to knowing Him. Not just knowing ABOUT Him but knowing Him personally, day and night, and in every situation?

As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
	John 1:12

El De’ot - God who intensively knows - by Your Spirit, help me know You more each day.

The Lord has heard my pleading, the Lord receives my prayer.
	Psalm 6:9

Know Him,
