 Saluki Down Time - July 24, 2023

Do you KNOW God? 

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 46:10

Sit down and think about knowing God. Yesterday I was telling a friend of mine that another friend of mine knows Jesus. She immediately responded, due to the actions of the other friend, "you can know God and still be lost."

Do you know God or do you know God's heart?

God wants you to know who he is. He wants you to know how he will respond. His character. His love. 

How do you build a relationship with someone else? 

1. Spend time with them. 

2. Listen well to them. 

3. Communicate with them. 

You don't have to live not knowing whether God is going to care for you, provide for you, or love you. 

“I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”  - John 17:26

Jesus has made a way for us to get real access to our heavenly father. We don't have to wait or wonder if we can have access to him. 

David was a man after God's own heart. 

It is a pursuit. 

It is a daily grind. 

It is available.

 It is possible. 

The spirit of God is in you. You have access to God because he gave you the Holy Spirit. Connect the triangle and you will know God intimately. It will be a wonderful relationship. You will not have to worry about your life. You will get to know who you are in and through God. Your identity can be through Christ once you get to know God. 

What part of God do you not know? 

Rest in the presence of God. 

Have you thanked God for how available he is to you? 

You have full access to God. There is nothing else you have to do to get to know God. He is an open door. He wrote a book just for you. He will listen. He will love. He will be there for you. 

God is fully available. Take advantage of that in your life.
