Add Knowledge!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” 2 Peter 1v5 (KJV)

To our faith, we are told to employ every diligence to add virtue to it, and then knowledge. Proverbs 19v2 (KJV) says “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good: ...” It isn’t good to be without the knowledge of God, or to have an improper knowledge of who God is. Hosea 4v6 (KJV) says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” How are you dealing with the knowledge of God? Do you really know Him? Are you seeking to know Him more or are you being casual about God? Jeremiah 9v23-24 (NLT) says “This is what the LORD says: “Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know Me and understand that I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the LORD, have spoken!” Now more than ever before, when there are increasing numbers of false teachers, false prophets, who tell lies, it is important we know for ourselves the God we serve.

Prayer

Our heavenly Father, we thank You so much for Your Word. Father, we are praying that You will grant unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Help us to grow in the proper knowledge of You. We know Your ways are not our ways neither are Your thoughts our thoughts. Help us to get on board with what You are doing, and not to be a stumbling block to Your work. Thank You Father for Your goodness, and for Your Spirit who is with us and in us guide us into all the truth, and for hearing us, for we pray, in Jesus name, amen.
