Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: KNOWING GOD
Text: Read: Matthew 10:28-33
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 11-12; Ps. 3
“Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?” (Mark 12:24).
God is the absolute authority and ruler over all of creation. Neither a hair nor a sparrow falls to the ground against God's will (Matt. 10:29-30). Without absolute authority and rule, God's other attributes would be conditional. If God were not all-powerful, His love could be affected or changed by outside forces. Thankfully, we serve a God whose love is unconditional and not affected by anything outside His will. We know from the book of Romans 8:28 that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”.
We might not know everything we may want to know about the Lord, yet the Scriptures reveal to us that first and foremost, He loves us. This love was demonstrated as stated in the book of Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”.
As a king’s child is bold and fearless knowing who his/her father is, so should we be bold and fearless knowing who our Almighty God and Father is. God our Father is the Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent One. The Almighty Supreme Being that made and controls the universe. There is great peace and comfort in reliance on God based on our knowledge of Him. Spend time in His Word and get to know Him in a richer and fuller way.
Prayer: Almighty Father, thank You for revealing Yourself unto us to make us know You better. Help us to spend more time in Your Word so that we will be bold and fearless. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ – Amen.
