Jeremiah 29:13 – I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
Isaiah 41:10 – So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Those who push in to know God know God. (Jeremiah 29:13) Those who will not, and indeed cannot accept not knowing Him, will know Him. God has promised us that those who seek Him with all that we are, with Him as our highest prize, will know Him. (Deuteronomy 4:29, Proverbs 8:17) All of His promises are always and eternally true. (Joshua 21:43-45, 23:14, Numbers 23:19, Psalm 145:13, Romans 4:20-21) All His Word, all that comes from Him is truth because there is no error and no deceit within Him. (1 Peter 2:22, Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18) If there is no deceit within Him then there can be no deceit from Him. So He is Truth and all that He states is true. (John 14:6, John 8:32, Romans 3:4) Furthermore, He is always faithful because it is part of His intrinsic nature. (2 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 1:9, Deuteronomy 7:9) Not one part of Him is not faithful. Like blue coloring that is put into a cup of water and it mixes with all the water. The water is still water, but the blue is attached to all of it. We cannot see the water without seeing the blue. We cannot know God without being aware that He is True and Faithful. God has promised to all who truly want to know Him that He will reveal Himself to us. He wants us to know Him. He went so far for us to know Him that He gave us Jesus as the exact representation of the fullness of Him (John 14:9, Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:15). God the Son stepped down from His throne to take on flesh (Philippians 2:6-8) to demonstrate to us the love, faithfulness and truth of God that could be seen, heard and touched. Indeed God has promised that all who want to know Him will know Him and Jesus is the proof, the completion of that promise. And finally, if we know, by the validation of the Holy Spirit within, that we know Him, then we know that His promises are true and He is faithful to all of them. Since that is true what have we to fear? With the one and only Almighty God who is Creator and Supreme Ruler of all on our side and always with us, whom or what shall we fear? We know it is true that we have nothing and no-one to fear. So if we fear, the only question is how much do we know God, or horribly, do we know Him? 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” It is true “Know God, no fear; No God, know fear.” Now Family, none of us, even with the Bible, know God fully in this life. It is a life long journey. But we should get to the point where the terrors of the world are not what scares us, and that is so because we know and trust God.
Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
