“… but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32b, KJV()
Yesterday my son John and I were in Walmart Supercenter when the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID on my phone and saw that it was my husband, his father. Before answering the call, I said to John, “He is in the store and is calling to ask which aisle we are on.”

When I hung up the phone, John looked at me in wonder and asked, “How did you know?”
My response to him was, “Because I know Him.”

- I can truly rest and be at peace, Because I know Him.
- I can smile in the midst of the storm (not as a cliché saying or as a façade, but), Because I know Him.
I WANT TO KNOW HIM LIKE THAT! Don’t you?
Dear Holy Spirit, hear the cry of our hearts today and cause us to draw closer to You so we can grow in our relationship with You. May our hearts yearn to know You until we are moved to that place. In Jesus’ name, Amen
