Hosea 6:3 Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord…

Christian living is the simplest thing. We complicate it so unnecessarily. We just have to know God. If we really knew Him, we’d certainly fear Him and seek from Him mercy and receive His love. If we received His love poured out to us, we’d respond by obeying and loving others because His love would flow out of us. We’d offer ourselves to our good God to use as He pleased, and He would produce fruit through us. We don’t produce fruit. We just bear it. We just hold out our branchy arms to offer the blessing to others that Christ produced through us.

We just have to know Him. “Let us press on to know the Lord.” Pursue knowing Him. I pursue knowing the Lord. There were times I would go to sleep and wake with the baby’s first feeding cry and then stay up and do my quiet time until the next feeding and then go back to sleep. There is always time for what is important to you.

Do you pursue knowing Him?
