Knowing
The Lord does indeed know human thoughts,
knows that they are nothing but a puff of air. ~ Psalm 94:11 (CEB)
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. ~ Philippians 3:10a (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Even though our knowledge capacity is limited, God graciously enables us to know the power of the resurrection.
PRAYER:
God, you are generous with what you have. Frankly, we think we know more than we do. Help me to accept the reality of my limitations and to look to your unlimited power and knowledge as the source for my life. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. Amen.
