We’re only on the threshold of knowing Jesus
August 13, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. Psalm 102:25
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I’ve been preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for more than fifty years, but I feel I’m just on the threshold of discovering Him. I want to move closer and closer to Him and learn more and more about Him.
Do you know what Paul said at the end of his ministry? That he “may know God” (see Philippians 3:10). Did he know God? Yes, but even after years of ministry, he knew so little about Him—there was so much more to know.
Let me ask you a question. Did Christopher Columbus discover America? Well, he touched on the shores of America. But even today there are thousands of unnamed lakes, forests, and more where no one has yet completely explored.
In a similar way, there is so much for us yet to discover in Christ.
ACTION POINT:
You may have “touched on” Christ, but God’s plan is that you know Him more and more each day.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
