Today in chapel President Jay Barnes spoke about Christ followers. One of the core values of Bethel is that it is full of Christ followers. After he spoke he showed a video of a sermon by Reverand S.M. Lockridge. He proclaims all of these truths about Jesus being king and than he asks, "That's my King. I wonder do you know Him?"
That's a question that I want to ask myself sometimes. Do I know Him or do I just know Him. Do I know Him with my heart or is it just in my head. There are times when I feel the spirit moving and I know Him, but there are times when my spirtual life is stagnant and I feel like I don't know Him. The truth isn't that I don't know Him at those times it's that I judge my knowing Him by my feelings. I know I've talked about this before, but here I go again. It is obviously a struggle if I do it more than once.
I have a schedule now. I wake up and I read my Bible and ten keep going on in my day. Each day I wake up and I pray that the Lord will give me eyes to see Christ in the Old Testement and that I will glean something from it. In other words I pray that I will know Him. Often times I don't know Him.
Give me Jesus. Let me know the King.
Yearning for Him,
Greta

I'll be honest, I still don't have a schedule and it's been really hard for me to crack open my Bible and read it.
I'm glad, though, that God is showing you new things about Himself and that you're continuing to grow in Him!
I love you a lot.
