KNOWABILITY
"I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. John 10:14 (NKJV)
There's a big difference between "knowing of" someone and "knowing" someone. You know of the President and the latest A-list celebrities and athletes. But chances are, you don't really know any of these people. It's a one-sided and one-way relationship. You might invite them into your life, but they aren't allowing you into theirs...and they probably never will.
When it comes to the people you really know, it's the people in your life who are knowable-your spouse, your children, and your friends. It's those who allow and invite you into their lives. You experience a two-way relationship with these people. Now carry that idea over to God. He isn't just someone we can know of but someone we can actually know. He makes Himself open and accessible to us. He invites and allows us into a personal, two-way relationship with Him.
Think about it for a moment. The almighty Creator of the universe, the One who keeps the galaxies and constellations from colliding into each other, the One who keeps every single atom from flying apart, wants to be known-and wants to be known by us! And as if that weren't enough, He sent His own Beloved Son to suffer and die so that we could know Him (John 17:3).
There are two types of people: those who know of God and those who know God. May we be those who not only know Him for ourselves, but also who make Him known to others.
Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches...let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me.... (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV)
What does this passage reveal to me about God?
What does this passage reveal to me about myself?
Based on this, what changes do I need to make?
What is my prayer for today?
