254 Psalms 068 – 069; 1 Timothy 006
Is it important to know God? How important is it to know God? How much is it worth to you to know God? What would you give up to know God in a deeper, richer way? Hopefully as you have been reading the Psalms it has become obvious to you how well David knew God. Through all the raw emotion, awkward circumstances, and his doubts spewed all over the pages of scripture you see that he truly walked with his Lord. David as an Old Testament believer had a personal relationship with the Lord. David as a king had the Holy Spirit working in him and through him. In a way David was a precursor to the Christian life except we have more resources available to us than David. We also have an understanding of the depths of God's love, mercy, and grace that David could not have known. We live on the other side of the cross. When I think about how much insight I have and the resources at my disposal as a Christian and then examine David's life I sometimes shrink back in shame in comparison to his passion for the Lord. Let David speak to you, take a look at his heart, and the passion he had for our God. As David said, "The poor in spirit see and are glad---Oh, you God-seekers, take heart!"
Timothy, be sure to, "Pursue a righteous life--a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith." What great instruction for all of us. What a person pursues is what they become.
