A funny title, ey?! "Ya Can't Know if Ya Don't Know..." 

Relative to the knowledge of God and His righteousness, the only way to "know" this is by what God tells, teaches, and trains us. And we find all of this in the letters and books He wrote. What?! God wrote books and letters?! Yes! It is all included in the Holy Bible. In fact, God said He "spoke" and "holy men of God wrote it down."

Speaking of the Bible, did you know that...

In a recent LifeWay Research study, we learned the following about the Bible reading habits among church attendees:

19% – Read everyday

26% – Read a few times a week

14% – Read once a week

22% – Read at least once a month

18% – Read rarely or never.

• There are a couple of interesting takeaways from this study. Almost 60% of churchgoers open their Bibles at home during the week at least once. And for every person who is reading his/her Bible everyday (19%), someone isn’t… at all (18%).

Did you also know the Bible is still the Best Selling Book of all time! 

Ok, how does this impact you and me? What it does not mean is this should not be taken as a remimand. Rather, simply a self-mirror-check on where we stand with God. More so it is this, I am often reminded not to eat before dinner. Especially, do not eat junk food before a meal. I imagine you would quickly agree with me that we do not have a hunger for God not His Word because we have filled ourselves with he junk food of the world. It is time to correct our spiritual diet. Yes?!

If we do, then we will not only KNOW God's love, mercy, grace, and peace, but we will KNOW Him!!! There is no greater intimacy to be had for sure. But if we don't then, Ya Can't Know if Ya Don't Know.

So take time to sit back and crack open your favorite Bible and get to KNOW God!!  Then, invite someone to join you!!

May we in the power of the Holy Spirit, follow the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

Amen.
