"Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. He judged the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this knowing Me? says the Lord." (Jer. 22:15b,16)
I wonder if we sometimes forget what it really means to know God. Over and over scripture points out that action - loving, serving, sacrificing, etc - that is what defines a true follower of Christ. When I pray, Lord I want to know you more - do I really know what I am asking? It is so much more than knowledge of God - it is living in such a way, that identifies and understands God's heart for people - for His beloved creation.

We don't always know what we're getting into, do we?
Fortunately, that works both ways ... not just in things we might find difficult to handle, but also in things that are more wonderful than we can imagine.
