To know Him

He just wants me to know Him. Is that why I study the Bible? Do I read for knowledge or to get to know Him more? Again back to Matt 7:7... Ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Am I reading to answer the questions in the book or to know my Heavenly Father and King????

Shhh

When was the last time you listened to the birds and their chirping, the crickets and whatever noise they make... yesterday we went tubing on a river down here in Bongolo for 3 hours - it was AWESOME! But at one point in the journey things were fairly quiet and I started to wonder what kind of animals made all those noises... isn't it amazing how such small animals can make such loud noises (actually I wondered that back home sometimes when a cricket would get into my room!). Lately I've just felt a call to be quiet before Him. To quiet all the voices in my head... the thoughts... and just listen. But the thing is that, although the jungle is beautiful and filled with many noises, they didn't seem that different from the ones back home. Be quiet before Him today.

Ask (part 2)

So I've been asking and I have received... at least a little bit, but it was tremendously encouraging to me! I'm so glad that He encourages me to believe in Him! Also thought today that maybe it is given in His time and not mine. Abraham was given beaucoup des enfants, but he never actually saw them. Do I believe what I may never see? Continues to be a struggle for me.
