Knowing Him Personally

A Day in the Life

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
— John 17:3

When I read the prayer of Jesus recorded in John 17, I am always struck by how clearly He defines eternal life. Many people assume eternal life is primarily about duration—living forever. Yet Jesus describes it differently. Eternal life is relational before it is chronological. It is the experience of knowing God personally and knowing Jesus Christ whom the Father has sent. The Greek word used for “know” here is ginōskō, which describes knowledge gained through relationship and experience rather than intellectual awareness. In other words, Jesus is not speaking about religious information; He is speaking about a living relationship with God.

This distinction is important because many believers live with a quiet tension between what they know about God and what they actually experience with Him. It is possible to study theology, read Scripture faithfully, and yet feel as though the power of God described in the Bible is happening somewhere else. The Apostle Paul confronted this very issue when he wrote, “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). Paul did not merely want to understand Christ; he longed to know Him. A few verses later he wrote, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection” (Philippians 3:10). Paul’s language shows that biblical knowledge always includes personal encounter.

When I reflect on the life of Jesus, I see that He constantly invited people into this kind of experiential faith. The disciples did not simply sit in a classroom learning theology. They walked dusty roads with Him. They watched Him calm storms, restore broken lives, and speak with authority that changed hearts. Their knowledge of God grew through real encounters with His presence. Dallas Willard once wrote, “The greatest issue facing the world today is whether those who identify as Christians will become disciples—students, apprentices, practitioners of Jesus Christ.” That observation challenges me. Am I content to know ideas about God, or am I willing to live closely enough with Christ to experience His work in my life?

Sometimes discouragement sets in when our experience seems smaller than the promises we read in Scripture. We read about faith that moves mountains, prayers that open doors, and love that transforms lives. Yet our own spiritual experience may feel quiet or ordinary. At that moment, a subtle temptation appears. We may begin lowering our expectations of Scripture so that they match our experience. But the Bible calls us to the opposite response. Instead of reducing Scripture to the level of our experience, we are invited to bring our lives up to the level of God’s promises.

Jesus Himself prayed that His followers would know the fullness of God’s love. The Apostle Paul echoes this prayer in Ephesians 3:18–19, writing that believers might “comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.” Notice the paradox: Paul speaks of knowing a love that surpasses knowledge. This is the language of experience. It is the difference between reading about the ocean and standing in it.

A.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Yet Tozer also warned that knowledge of God must move beyond concepts. He wrote that God wants to be known in the living reality of our lives, not merely in our ideas about Him. That insight reminds me that Christianity was never meant to be a distant study of God. It is an invitation to walk with Him.

So what should we do when we read biblical truths that we have not yet experienced? The answer is not frustration or resignation. Instead, we keep those truths before us in prayer and expectation. We ask God if there are adjustments He wants us to make. Sometimes the adjustment involves trust. Sometimes it involves obedience. At other times it involves simply waiting with patience while God works in ways we cannot yet see.

This approach mirrors the life of Jesus Himself. Throughout the Gospels, we see Him withdrawing to pray, trusting the Father, and living in constant awareness of God’s presence. The relationship between the Father and the Son was not theoretical—it was lived moment by moment. That is the life Jesus invites us into as well. Eternal life begins now, not merely in heaven. It begins the moment we step into a real relationship with the living God.

Today, as I think about the prayer of Jesus in John 17, I am reminded that faith is not about settling for secondhand stories of God’s work. We rejoice when God moves in other people’s lives, but Jesus prayed that we would know God personally. That means experiencing His guidance, sensing His presence, and watching His power work in ways both quiet and extraordinary. The journey of discipleship is the journey of discovering that the God described in Scripture is the same God who walks with us today.

If there are promises in Scripture that feel distant from your current experience, do not abandon them. Hold them close. Pray over them. Ask God to make them real in your life. The same Lord who spoke through the pages of Scripture is still at work today, drawing His people into a deeper knowledge of Himself.

Knowing God Beyond Strength

As the Day Begins

“Wisdom is better than strength.”Ecclesiastes 9:16

 The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes lived in a world not unlike our own, where strength was admired, authority was visible, and power was measurable. Armies won battles, wealth commanded attention, and influence secured outcomes. Yet in the midst of this reality, the Teacher quietly offers a countercultural word: “Wisdom is better than strength.” The Hebrew word used here for wisdom, ḥokmâ, carries more than the idea of intelligence or clever strategy. It speaks of skill in living, discernment shaped by reverence for God, and the ability to navigate life in alignment with His purposes. Strength may force a moment, but wisdom shapes a life.

To walk in wisdom, then, is not merely to make better decisions; it is to cultivate attentiveness to God Himself. Wisdom requires reflection—honest, prayerful examination of who we are before the Lord and how He desires to work within us. The wise person does not rush past God in pursuit of results. Instead, he or she slows down long enough to listen, to notice patterns of grace, correction, and invitation. Over time, this posture forms a life that seeks to please the Lord not out of fear, but out of love. As Scripture affirms elsewhere, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10), where “fear” signifies reverent awe and relational trust rather than dread.

As we walk in wisdom day by day, something subtle yet deeply formative occurs: we begin to recognize God’s hand at every turn. We notice His presence in interruptions, His mercy in restraint, and His guidance in moments of uncertainty. Wisdom trains us to discern His voice—not as something distant or abstract, but as a familiar prompting of the heart. Jesus later described this relational knowing when He said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). This is the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing God. Information can increase without intimacy, but wisdom draws us into communion. Over time, we find that God’s leading becomes less about dramatic signs and more about a steady awareness of His nearness.

This morning, Ecclesiastes invites us to release the illusion that strength alone will secure a meaningful life. Strength can accomplish tasks, but wisdom nurtures relationship. Strength may impress others, but wisdom shapes the soul. As the day begins, we are called not simply to do more, but to walk more closely—to attend to the quiet movements of God, to trust His timing, and to allow our lives to be shaped by His presence rather than driven by our own force.

Triune Prayer

Most High, I begin this day acknowledging that You are exalted above all human power and understanding. I thank You that Your wisdom is not withheld from those who seek You with humility. Too often I rely on my own strength, my planning, or my determination, believing that effort alone will carry me through. This morning, I confess that such reliance leaves me weary and distracted. Teach me to walk in wisdom shaped by reverence for You. Help me to recognize Your hand in the ordinary moments of this day and to trust that Your ways are higher than my own. I offer You my thoughts, my decisions, and my desires, asking that they be formed by Your truth and guided by Your grace.

Jesus, Son of God, I thank You for revealing the wisdom of the Father through a life of humility, obedience, and love. You showed that true strength is found not in domination, but in surrender to the Father’s will. As I walk through this day, help me to listen for Your voice and to follow where You lead, even when the path feels quiet or unseen. Remind me that knowing You is not achieved through striving, but through abiding. Shape my responses, my conversations, and my priorities so that they reflect Your character. May I learn to measure success not by outcomes, but by faithfulness to Your presence with me.

Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, I invite You to guide my heart and mind today. You dwell within me as Counselor and Helper, gently prompting and correcting with patience and love. Open my awareness to Your leading, especially in moments when I am tempted to act from impulse or self-reliance. Grant me discernment to recognize what aligns with God’s wisdom and courage to follow it. As this day unfolds, form in me a deeper attentiveness to Your work, so that my life may bear witness to the quiet, steady wisdom that comes from walking with God.

Thought for the Day

Choose wisdom today by slowing your pace enough to notice God’s presence and listening for His guidance before relying on your own strength.

That They May Know Him

The Bible in a Year

“They shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God.”
Exodus 29:46

As we move steadily through the Scriptures together, Exodus 29:46 invites us to pause and consider a single verse that gathers together the heart of God’s redemptive intent. These words come at the conclusion of detailed instructions concerning the Tabernacle and the consecration of Israel’s priests. After the measurements, rituals, garments, and sacrifices, God reminds His people why all of this exists. The structure is not the point. The priesthood is not the end. The purpose is relational: “They shall know that I am the Lord their God.” Before God speaks of dwelling among them, He speaks of being known by them.

The knowledge described here is not mere information. In Hebrew thought, to “know” (yadaʿ) implies relational familiarity born of lived experience. God’s purpose in redeeming Israel was not simply to form a nation or establish religious order, but to make Himself known to them as their God. This challenges the way many of us approach faith today. We often settle for knowing about God—His attributes, His actions, His commands—while neglecting the deeper pursuit of knowing Him. A.W. Tozer once observed, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Scripture presses us further: it is not only what we think about God, but whether we truly know Him, that shapes faithful living.

God’s purpose is inseparable from His power. The verse continues, “that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt.” Israel’s knowledge of God was grounded in history, not abstraction. They knew Him as Deliverer before they knew Him as Indweller. The plagues, the Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea—these were not isolated miracles but revelations of divine power directed toward salvation. At the same time, that same power brought judgment upon Egypt. God’s might was displayed both in rescuing His people and in confronting hardened resistance. As Scripture repeatedly reminds us, “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name” (Exodus 15:3, italics mine). Power is not an optional attribute of God; it is essential to His identity and to our understanding of redemption.

This balance between salvation and judgment remains instructive. Modern faith often emphasizes God’s saving power while quietly minimizing His authority to judge. Yet Exodus will not allow such division. The God who saves is also the God who rules. His power does not fluctuate according to human preference. For the believer, this is not a threat but a reassurance. The same power that once broke the grip of Egypt is at work to redeem, correct, and sustain God’s people today. Knowing God means trusting that His power is both purposeful and righteous.

The verse then reaches its most astonishing declaration: “that I may dwell among them.” God’s presence is not assumed; it is given by grace. Israel had proven repeatedly that they were a stiff-necked and rebellious people. Still, God desired to dwell in their midst. The Tabernacle was not a reward for obedience but a testimony to mercy. Moses understood this better than most. When faced with the possibility of entering the Promised Land without God’s presence, he pleaded, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here” (Exodus 33:15, italics mine). For Moses, the presence of God mattered more than progress, security, or success.

That same question confronts us today. Do we value God’s presence more than outcomes? Do we desire Him, or merely what He provides? God’s dwelling among His people foreshadows the greater reality fulfilled in Christ. John declares, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14, italics mine). The God who once filled the Tabernacle with glory has chosen to make His home among us through His Son and by His Spirit. This presence is still an act of grace, not entitlement.

Finally, the verse closes with a reaffirmation of God’s person: “I am the Lord their God.” The name “LORD,” rendered in all capital letters, signifies YHWH—Jehovah, the covenant God revealed to Moses as “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). This declaration draws a clear line of distinction. Israel’s God was not one among many; He was wholly other, self-existent, and faithful. Any alternative deity was a distortion by comparison. As Walter Brueggemann notes, “The claim of YHWH is exclusive not because of insecurity, but because of truth.” To know God rightly is to reject lesser substitutes that cannot save, sustain, or dwell with us.

As we journey through the Bible this year, Exodus 29:46 reminds us what Scripture ultimately seeks to do. It reveals God’s purpose, displays His power, invites us into His presence, and grounds us in His person. The Bible is not merely a record of religious development; it is a testimony to a God who desires to be known. Our task is not to rush past that invitation, but to respond with reverent attention and faithful trust, allowing the knowledge of God to shape every other knowledge we pursue.

When God’s Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

1,031 words, 5 minutes read time.

“The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.”
— Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV)

The Deafening Quiet

Have you ever poured out your heart to God—desperate, pleading, completely vulnerable—only to be met with… silence?

No burning bush. No audible voice. No immediate answer.

Just quiet.

I’ve been there. Kneeling beside my bed, tears streaming down my face, begging God for direction, for relief, for anything—and feeling like my prayers were bouncing off the ceiling. In those moments, the silence felt like absence. Like abandonment.

But what if God’s silence isn’t absence at all? What if it’s actually a different kind of presence?

Biblical Silence: You’re in Good Company

Scripture is filled with seasons of divine silence:

Joseph sat in prison for years, falsely accused, seemingly forgotten. The Bible doesn’t record God speaking to him during that dark time. Yet God was positioning him for purpose (Genesis 39-41).

The Israelites endured 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments—no prophets, no direct word from God. But God was preparing the world for the arrival of the Messiah.

Jesus himself experienced the silence of the Father on the cross, crying out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). Even in that moment of profound silence, redemption was being accomplished.

If these pillars of faith walked through valleys of divine silence, perhaps it’s not a sign of God’s distance but rather a sacred part of our spiritual journey.

What God’s Silence Might Be Saying

1. “I’ve Already Answered”

Sometimes God’s silence is an invitation to remember. He may have already given you the wisdom, scripture, or direction you need—and the silence is space for you to apply it.

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11)

2. “Wait—I’m Working”

Silence can be the sacred pause between prayer and provision. God is rarely early, but He’s never late. In the waiting, He’s often working behind scenes we cannot see.

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” (Psalm 37:7)

3. “Trust Me Without the Signs”

Sometimes God withdraws the constant reassurance to deepen our faith. He’s inviting us to trust His character, not just His communication.

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29)

4. “Listen Deeper”

God may be speaking in whispers rather than shouts—through creation, community, circumstances, or the still, small voice that requires absolute quiet to hear.

“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.'” (Psalm 46:10)

How to Respond to God’s Silence

Don’t equate silence with absence. The sun doesn’t cease to exist when clouds cover it. God is present even when He feels distant.

Keep showing up. Continue in prayer, worship, and reading Scripture. Faithfulness in the silence builds spiritual muscle.

Look for Him in unexpected places. God may be speaking through a friend’s encouragement, a verse that jumps off the page, or a door that opens (or closes).

Remember His track record. Journal about times God has been faithful before. Let your history with Him anchor your hope.

Surrender the timeline. Release your grip on when and how God should answer. Trust His wisdom over your urgency.

A Different Kind of Intimacy

I’ve come to believe that God’s silence is sometimes His greatest act of trust in us.

He’s saying: “I’ve taught you. I’ve equipped you. I’ve shown you who I am. Now walk in what you know, even when you can’t feel Me.”

This is the faith that pleases Him—not the faith that needs constant confirmation, but the faith that stands firm when the skies seem silent.

The silence doesn’t mean He’s stopped caring. It means He’s inviting you into a deeper, more mature relationship—one built on trust rather than transaction, on His character rather than constant communication.

Reflection Questions

  • When have you experienced God’s silence in your life? Looking back, what might He have been teaching you?
  • What past faithfulness of God can you hold onto during current silence?
  • How might you need to shift from demanding answers to deepening trust?
  • Closing Prayer:

    Father, when I cannot hear Your voice, help me to trust Your heart. Remind me that Your silence is not rejection but invitation—to deeper faith, greater trust, and more intimate relationship. Teach me to be still. Teach me to wait. Teach me to believe even when I cannot see. I choose to trust that You are working, even now, in the quiet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Today’s Declaration:
    God’s silence in my life does not mean His absence. He is present, He is working, and He is faithful—even when I cannot hear Him.

    “Glory Before the Morning”

    A Day in the Life of Jesus

    On this day in our journey—November 23—we step into one of the most sacred moments recorded in Scripture. Jesus, knowing the cross is only hours away, lifts His eyes toward heaven and prays not for the world, not for His disciples, but first—for Himself. John 17:1–5 is holy ground. In it we overhear the Son speaking with the Father about glory, mission, and eternal life. We are invited into the inner life of God.

    I have always been moved by the simplicity of the scene: “After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed…” (John 17:1). No dramatic posture, no theatrics—just the Son turning openly to the Father with complete honesty and trust. And this prayer is filled with the kind of intimacy we were created to share in. Jesus lets us overhear the eternal conversation of Father and Son, and He does it so that we might understand both who He is and who we are meant to become.

    This passage begins with a declaration: “Father, the hour has come.” Jesus is not shrinking from His mission; He is stepping into it. For all the hours in His earthly life—the quiet Nazareth years, the Galilean ministry, the late-night teachings, the meals with sinners—this was the hour. The hour when love would look like suffering. The hour when obedience would look like surrender. The hour when glory would shine through wounds. And Jesus prays, “Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.”

    That phrase—“glorify your Son”—might sound unusual to our ears, almost self-focused. But it is nothing of the sort. Jesus is asking the Father to complete the mission, to reveal what was always true about the Son, and to let the cross and resurrection unveil the fullness of divine love. As commentator Leon Morris observed, “In the cross, the glory of God is fully displayed—not despite the suffering, but through it.” Jesus is asking that His life’s work fulfill its intended purpose: to restore humanity to God.

    The Son Returning to the Glory He Shared Before the World Began

    The study notes remind us that Jesus’ request is not about gaining something new but returning to something eternally His. “Reveal my glory… the glory we shared before the world began” (17:5). Before Bethlehem, before shepherds or starlight or Jordan waters, He was with the Father in eternal majesty. And now, as the mission nears completion, He asks to return to that place—not as the pre-incarnate Word only, but as the crucified and risen Savior.

    Imagine the scene from Stephen’s perspective in Acts 7:56: “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” The prayer of John 17 was answered. Jesus was restored to His position—not just enthroned in glory but enthroned as the Redeemer who bears the wounds of our salvation.

    At the center of this prayer is not just majesty but mercy. Jesus prays about glory because He loves us. His exaltation becomes the anchor of our hope.

    Knowing God—The Heart of Eternal Life

    Jesus then defines eternal life in a way no philosopher, theologian, or religious teacher had ever done:
    “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

    Eternal life, Jesus says, is not about duration but relationship. Not about escaping time but entering intimacy. Not just being alive forever but being alive with God forever.

    This is important because so many believers still imagine eternal life as a distant reward. Jesus says it begins now. Eternal life is the quality of life made possible when we enter into relationship with the Father through the Son, empowered by the Holy Spirit. It is an invitation to know God personally—not just know about Him.

    The study notes say, “Eternal life gives us the capacity for intimacy.” That resonates deeply. Without the life of Christ within us, we cannot grasp the love of God. But once His Spirit indwells us, we begin to recognize our sin not as a label but as a separation—and then we see grace not as a doctrine but as an embrace.

    To know God is to be drawn into His heart, His truth, His ways, His compassion. And the more we know Him, the more we begin to look like Him—slowly, steadily, beautifully.

    The First Step: Realizing We Don’t Have Eternal Life on Our Own

    The study notes describe the inward shift that must happen: a realization that we do not possess eternal life apart from Christ. This is not meant to shame us but awaken us. Scripture calls this awareness conviction—a moment when we sense our distance from God and finally admit, “I cannot bridge this gap alone.”

    When we turn from our rebellion, our self-sufficiency, our broken attempts at self-salvation, something miraculous occurs. The Holy Spirit applies Christ’s work to our lives. Love becomes something more than a concept—it becomes our life. The presence of God begins to dwell within us in a way that feels both comforting and transforming.

    As the Puritan Thomas Brooks once wrote, “To know God is to taste heaven while still on earth.” Jesus offers that taste, that relationship, that life—now.

    Walking the Journey With Jesus Today

    As I walk through this passage, I find myself strangely comforted by the honesty of Jesus’ prayer. If Jesus—holy, perfect, sinless—spoke so openly to the Father about His desires, His mission, His longing for restored glory, then surely I can speak honestly too. Prayer is not performance; it is participation in the relationship Jesus secured.

    And perhaps this is the invitation of John 17:1–5 for us today:
    To enter our own “hour” with trust.
    To bring our own hearts to the Father without hiding.
    To allow God to reshape us through intimacy rather than fear.
    To embrace eternal life not as a far-off hope but as a present reality.

    This prayer shows us that Jesus did not fear communion with the Father—He delighted in it. And because of Him, that same communion is now our inheritance.

    A Blessing for the Journey

    May the Father draw you into a deeper awareness of His love today.
    May the Son remind you that His glory includes your redemption and your future.
    May the Holy Spirit fill you with eternal life—not just in promise but in present experience.
    Walk in the life Jesus prayed you would receive, and may this day reflect His presence in every thought, word, and step.
