Understanding God

Jer9:23 Thus says the Lord:“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let
not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his
riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and
knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord. (NKJV)

There are many people that say that they "know" God and are His children,
and yet have no understanding of what He wants from them or what He wants
them to do. For many, the glory of accomplishment comes from wisdom, might,
and riches. Understanding God, His lovingkindness, judgement, and
righteousness is far more important than any earthly accomplishment. In
understanding God's attributes, our lives should be changed. The end
question is, what do you delight in, the things of the world or the things
of God? All of this world is going to pass away, what then? May our main
desire, our most important glory, be to understand and know God!
