In the quest for spiritual fulfillment, many find themselves caught between knowing God and merely knowing about God. This subtle yet profound distinction can transform our faith journey from a surface-level acquaintance to a deep, personal relationship. Today, in our daily devotional for March 25, let’s explore the richness of truly knowing God beyond facts and experiencing His presence and power in our lives.
Daily Devotional for March 25
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” (Ephesians 1:17)
Beyond the Surface
Knowing about God can often feel like reading a biography of someone you admire; you learn facts, stories, and doctrines, but there remains a distance, a lack of personal connection. In contrast, knowing God is akin to a close friendship, where knowledge transcends information and becomes intertwined with love, trust, and experience.
The Power of Personal Experience
When you truly know God, your faith doesn’t ebb and flow with your emotions or circumstances. Joyful days are indeed blessings, but in times of struggle, the assurance of God’s presence remains unshaken.
This deep knowledge of God brings stability that can’t be swayed by life’s unpredictability or unanswered questions.
Letting Go of the Need to Explain
Human nature drives us to understand and explain everything around us, including the divine. However, part of truly knowing God vs. knowing about God is embracing the mystery of His nature.
Like apostle Paul, who witnessed unexplainable visions of heaven, you too might find that the most profound encounters with God defy human explanation and understanding.
