#KnowBeDo

Pastor Jesse Atwood    ECHO Student Devotional

Daniel 11:32
"But the people that do KNOW their God shall BE strong, and DO exploits."

Do you want to DO great things?
Do you want to BE great?
It all starts with KNOWING GOD.

There is a process that we should not circumvent. First we have to be in a relationship with God and get to KNOW HIM. Once we get to KNOW HIM, then HE begins to show us who we ARE. And when we become what HE wants us to BE, we can DO great things.

Anything great you want to BE or DO in life starts with KNOWING GOD.

But there are obstacles to KNOWING GOD. The enemy does not want us to get in meaningful, growing relationship with God. There are many things that might get in the way like the distractions (the phone, game system, a girlfriend or boyfriend), temptations and sometimes, just plain laziness.

Hosea 6:3 tells us "Let us PRESS ON to KNOW HIM." This means, in the face of opposition, obstacles and distractions, we are suppose to PRESS ON to get to KNOW HIM better.

How do we get to KNOW HIM better? By spending time with HIM through Reading His Word and Talking With Him. We should be doing this daily.

You will see, as you spend time with God and get to KNOW HIM better, He will line everything else up in your life!
