We are truly blessed to come together and seek a deeper understanding of our Heavenly Father. It is our heart's desire to know God more intimately, for Scripture tells us that those who seek Him with all their heart will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB).
Let us remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9:10 WEB). To understand God more deeply, we must approach Him with reverence and awe, spending time in His presence, reading His Word, and communing with Him in prayer.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to reveal the Father to us. He said, "If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him" (John 14:7 WEB). As we study the life and teachings of Jesus, we gain a deeper insight into the heart and character of God.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a desperate longing to know You more. We thank You for revealing Yourself to us through Your Word and through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Open our eyes, Lord, that we may see You more clearly. Open our ears that we may hear Your voice more distinctly. Open our hearts that we may love You more dearly. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
As we journey together in seeking a deeper understanding of God, let us encourage one another with the words of Paul, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" (2 Peter 3:18 WEB).
