GODOLOGY, WEEK 8
“Our knowledge of God begins with God. He is the One who opens our thoughts to His thoughts and teaches us to read His Word.” (p. 107)
It is not a surprise to us that God is wise; we expect that to be true. I mean, who really wants to trust a God who doesn’t know what he’s doing. But the thrust of this chapter is to remind us that God’s wisdom is a wisdom revealed in many areas. God is not up in the heavens, hiding from us and expecting us to find Himself. He has revealed Himself, the wisdom of His creation and salvation. This is why we should read our Bibles: to get to know God and to grasp His wisdom in our lives. Growing in knowledge about God leads to growing in relationship with God. This is part of being a disciple of Jesus. We are planting our selves deeply into the lives of others (as George states), seeking to grow together in grace. Knowing God deeper is a process, and we need to be working at it every day for our joy! So in light of this, why is it important to have a quiet time, and what do you need to do to improve yours?
I don’t have much to say about this chapter, but Christian mentioned about what if we where to upload everything we have ever thought about onto the internet. Would we be ashamed or would we be alright with it. He says that as Christians, we need to control our thoughts. Even though this may seem impossible to do, it can be done, or at least brought down to a minimum.
