Kim-I like how you said that who we are in Christ is deepened in knowing Him better. I’m glad you are teaching younger students to grasp this too.

Jen-We so often blog along the same lines! Thanks for being an encouragement to me.:)

That struck me – hard. I want to change. I want to be holy – as we’ve both said before – but, you’re so right – it’s only when I see God for who He is – truly who He is – that I will be changed.

Thanks so much Christa!

Jennifer

Great words.

Recently I was listening to a sermon by John MacArthur and he said that one of the best ways to get to know God was to read the Psalms. “Read one Psalm a day and at the end of 150 days you will know your God,” he says. I was reminded of this when reading your post. You rightly say, “Only a right view of God will change who I am,” and “We much too easily allow our perspective of God to be shaped by an inferior knowledge in the brevity with which He is addressed in our self-centered culture.”

I think it is AW Tozer who says, “The most important thing about us is what comes to our mind when we think about God.” How deep is my understanding of the character, holiness, and goodness of God? Do I have the weight of the Psalms to back up my understanding of him? I’m thankful for your reminder to saturate ourselves in Scripture so that we do not allow ignorance or lack of trust to limit our understanding of the attributes of our glorious God!
