Jeremiah 29:13<\/b>\u00a0–<\/span>\u00a0I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.<\/i><\/p>\n

Isaiah 41:10<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/span>So do\u00a0not\u00a0fear, for I am with you; do\u00a0not\u00a0be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<\/i><\/p>\n

Those who push in to know God know God.\u00a0\u00a0(Jeremiah 29:13<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0Those who will not, and indeed cannot accept not knowing Him, will know Him.\u00a0\u00a0God 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<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0All of His promises are always and eternally true. (Joshua 21:43-45, 23:14, Numbers 23:19, Psalm 145:13, Romans 4:20-21<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0All His Word, all that comes from Him is truth because there is no error and no deceit within Him.\u00a0\u00a0(1 Peter 2:22, Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0If there is no deceit within Him then there can be no deceit from Him.\u00a0\u00a0So He is Truth and all that He states is true.\u00a0\u00a0(John 14:6, John 8:32, Romans 3:4<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0Furthermore, He is always faithful because it is part of His intrinsic nature.\u00a0\u00a0(2 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 1:9, Deuteronomy 7:9)\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Not one part of Him is not faithful.\u00a0\u00a0Like blue coloring that is put into a cup of water and it mixes with all the water.\u00a0\u00a0The water is still water, but the blue is attached to all of it.\u00a0\u00a0We cannot see the water without seeing the blue.\u00a0\u00a0We cannot know God without being aware that He is True and Faithful.\u00a0\u00a0God has promised to all who truly want to know Him that He will reveal Himself to us.\u00a0\u00a0He wants us to know Him.\u00a0\u00a0He 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<\/b>).\u00a0\u00a0God the Son stepped down from His throne to take on flesh (Philippians 2:6-8<\/b>) to demonstrate to us the love, faithfulness and truth of God that could be seen, heard and touched.\u00a0\u00a0Indeed God has promised that all who want to know Him will know Him and Jesus is the proof, the completion of that promise.\u00a0\u00a0And 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.\u00a0\u00a0Since that is true what have we to fear?\u00a0\u00a0With 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?\u00a0\u00a0We know it is true that we have nothing and no-one to fear.\u00a0\u00a0So if we fear, the only question is how much do we know God, or horribly, do we know Him?\u00a0\u00a02 Timothy 1:7\u00a0<\/b>\u201cFor\u00a0God has not given us a spirit of fear,\u00a0but of power and of love and of a sound mind.<\/i>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is true \u201cKnow God, no fear; No God, know fear.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Now Family, none of us, even with the Bible, know God fully in this life.\u00a0\u00a0It is a life long journey.\u00a0\u00a0But 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.<\/p>\n

P<\/b><\/span>salm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Your God.<\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/b>\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
