If you were to e-mail Donald Trump every day, could you say that you actually knew him?
Let suppose that one day you actually received a reply.
What if you were to do a word study of everything that Donald Trump had written you on that one e-mail,then would you know him?
Next, you memorized every word written in that e-mail, and quoted it throughout the day.
Would that make you Donald Trump's friend?
What if you were to watch every
public appearance that Donald Trump ever made, and see everything that he has
been in?
Would you know Donald Trump?
The truth is you would know a lot about Donald Trump, and even the way he thinks; however, if you were to really meet him, you’d still be strangers.
The way that most of us know Donald Trump is how most of us know God.
We may shoot up prayers each and every day, take God's Bible and do word studies, and even memorize it word for word.
However, we’d still be strangers with God.
Jesus said in John 6:45 and John 10:3, we are taught by God, and have an amazing ability to identify and follow Him.
The truth is God is speaking to
us throughout the day - every day.
The problem is with our spam filters like on our computers.
We are filtering out God because we are either set in our ways (Luke 8:12), shallow (Luke 8:13), distracted (Luke 8:14), or all of the above.
However, if continually listen to God's voice deep within, and cling to it (Luke 8:15).
We will progressively know our God who speaks, listens, and
acts in and through us.
