Knowing God

Lord willing, I will be starting a Ladies Bible Study at my house this coming Thursday, July 12th.  We will be studying some of the attributes of God, learning about who the Lord is.  We will be going through Paul Washer's book, "The One True God".  Whether you have known the Lord for a very long time or you don't know Him at all, I believe this book will help us to dig into God's Word and learn much about Him.  In A.W. Tozer's book, "The Knowledge of the Holy", he writes, "the study of the attributes of God, far from being dull and heavy, may for the enlightened Christian be a sweet and absorbing spiritual excercise.  To the soul that is athirst for God, nothing could be more delightful."  I love that quote.  To the soul that is thirsty for God, what greater delight is there than knowing God and enjoying Him forever.  I encourage you and myself to spend the rest of our lives studying and cherishing the Gospel and the attributes of God.  As followers of Christ, we will be on this journey of knowing and loving God not only for the rest of our earthly lives but all throughout eternity!!    "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence  there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11  

I love the song below.  Although they left out one verse.   In the hymnal at our church, the third verse is " Let sorrow do its work, Send grief and pain; Sweet are thy messengers, Sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me, More love, O Christ, to thee, More love to thee, More love to thee.
