Bible Study Verse
Proverbs 30:2-3
“I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man’s understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.” (NIV)

Thoughts
Years ago I read Robert Ruark’s The Old Man and The Boy. The story is about a grandfather who teaches his grandson about fishing, hunting, and life in general.

While recently looking over the book again, I came across the chapter, “X+Y to the Second Power= Bluefish.” In that chapter, Ruark writes about the old man telling his grandson about knowledge:

“Bear this in mind. Knowledge is an accumulation, like a pack rat hides things. Things you never knew you knew have a way of popping up later. You’re supposed to fill your skull with a lot of things, against the day when you might need one of them. And remember this too: you can’t pour a gallon of knowledge into a one-quart brain. The idea is to make the brain big enough and flexible enough to handle what it has to handle. I want to see better marks next month, or we might just find ourselves not shooting any quail this fall.”
(Tom L)

Action Point
Many Christians including myself admit that we don’t have a deep knowledge of God. This lack can cause believers to have an inconsistent walk and prayer life.

To know God is to have intimacy with Him. Knowing God is more than having ideas about Him. It involves opening our total innermost being to Him: intellect, emotion, and will. Daily reading and studying God’s Living Word will increase your knowledge and produce an intimate understanding of who God is and His unending love.
