And this is eternal life, that they knowyou the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I have been examining what it means to have faith, to believe, to trust, to commit and to obey the LORD, God the Almighty. A lot of the emphasis has been on learning to trust Him, learning to live knowing that His promises are yea and amen. But there is a far deeper reason for seeking this outcome. It is that through the faith/trust/commit/obey-based life, we come to know Him. Really know Him, an intimate relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God, in His infinite provision has provided a set of 'tools' to guide us through the task of learning to live a life of trust in Him. And like any good craftsman, we must learn to utilize those tools and use them appropriately.
It seems to me to be appropriate to spend some time examining these tools, generally referred to as spiritual disciplines, and some of the Scriptures upon which they are based.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 41
Mid-day: 119:41-48
