"Finding the Knowledge of God"

“Finding the Knowledge of God”

Indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the Knowledge of God.      Proverbs 2:3-5



To be able to have the KNOWLEDGE of God, I believe would be bitter-sweet, because the KNOWLEDGE of God is UNLIMITED.  He KNOWS ALL THINGS, whether GOOD or BAD.  He KNOWS when there is TROUBLE, HEARTACHE, CALAMATIES, EVILNESS, SICKNESS, AND DESPAIR, even before it happens.  



Yet, to SEEK after the KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM of God, provides us with UNDERSTANDING, INSIGHT, and DISCERNMENT into the Word of God, which will help us to be a BETTER servant to Him.  Obtaining this KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM takes EFFORT to HEAR with the ear, and APPLY with the heart, the things that God wants you to KNOW.  And you find out “what things”, when you ASK for KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM. Then you will UNDERSTAND the FEAR of the LORD and find the KNOWLEDGE of GOD.  This word FEAR means to REVERANCE the LORD GOD. 



Proverbs 1:7 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, fools despise wisdom and discipline.”  The Lord God is the SOURCE of ALL KNOWLEDGE, and as a person “fears” or REVERANCES the Lord God, they gain KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM.  In order to obtain KNOWLEDGE of the LORD GOD, you MUST SEEK Him with ALL your HEART.  Then you will KNOW that HE ALONE is your HOPE for an ETERNITY in HEAVEN. 



In order for you to have this KNOWLEDGE and the HOPE that it brings, You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL you HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and GAIN, KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM, along with the HOPE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
