GET TO KNOW GOD NEXT YEAR

New Years Eve - Sunday, December 31

"Let the one...boast...that they have the understanding to know me."  Jer 9:24 NIV

God says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me" (vv. 23-24 NIV). The truth is, if you don't know God it doesn't matter how much money you have in your bank account, or what diplomas hang on your wall, or what position you hold in the company. Until you have a relationship with God, you haven't really begun to live! And part of getting to know  Him is learning the truth about yourself. After witnessing the miracles-working power of Christ, Peter acknowledged, "I am a sinful man!" (Lk 5:8 NIV). When the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon His throne, e cried, "Woe is me!" (Isa 6:5 NKJV). But God doesn't tel you the truth about yourself and then leave you that way. No, like a good doctor, He tells you you're sick so that you can  get the proper treatment. And the proper treatment for sin is salvation through the blood of Jesus. You will never know God until you are related to Him through Jesus Christ. So if you've never accepted Him as your Savior, start this New Year by praying: "Lord, I repent and turn from my sin. I place my life in Your hands, trusting You as my Lord and Savior. By faith I receive the gift of eternal life. Starting today, I ask You to lead and guide me and fulfill Your will through me. In Jesus' name I pray: Amen." Happy New Year!
