As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, does great things and unsearchable,
marvelous things without number: (Job 5:8,9 ESV)
It’s Who You Know
The other day, while watching a football game, I called up the well-known coach of the college team on television and asked him some advice. I also gave him a nudge in the direction his team should be going during this game. After a bit of a chat, we hung up… and we each clearly had listened to the other.
Ok, that did not happen.
I do not personally know any college football team coaches. I am pretty sure I do not even know anyone who knows such a coach. If I had to suddenly get an idea for the perfect play, or find out what the team’s favorite pizza was, I would be in trouble.
On the other hand, if I experience grievous loss, if I am overwhelmed by troubles, if I am afraid, if I do not know the correct decision, if I am confused, if I am hurting, if I am lost… I know the One who can help.
And He is bigger than a famous football coach. And He is more knowledgeable than a triple PhD. And He is more powerful than the Big Bang. And He is more gentle than a teddy bear. And He has better ears any listening device. And He loves me more than I can imagine.
I’m talking about the One True Living God.
And I know Someone who knows Him.
And He listens to me, and therefore I can speak to Him.
And He knows me, and therefore I know Him.
And my connection to Him is through His Son, Christ Jesus.
No one else but His people know Him! And He uniquely knows each one of us.
We are peculiar, we actually know Him.
