Focus on Him
THIS WEEK'S REFLECTION
God has absolute power and authority over all of His creation. He has the right and ability to accomplish whatever He chooses, and nothing can prevent or ultimately thwart His plans and purposes.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
--- Isaiah 55:9 ---
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
- A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy -
We can accumulate a tremendous amount of knowledge about God without allowing that knowledge to change how we see the world or live our lives. We can know the right answers, understand biblical truths, and recognize God's attributes without allowing those truths to shape our everyday thinking. There is a difference between knowing about God and truly knowing God. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, that knowledge should do more than fill our minds with information. It should change our perspective, strengthen our faith, deepen our relationship with Him, and lead us to trust His ways—even when we don't understand them. The goal isn't simply to learn more about God. It is to know Him more deeply, trust Him more completely, and allow that relationship to transform us. As 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.".
