Let Us Pray
Lord, we surrender our limited understanding. Help us abide in Your Word and discover the truth that sets us free. Amen.

What We Are Meant to Know
“The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.” — Aristotle
We like to know things! We like to “figure” things out. It gives us a sense of control, clarity, and direction. But when it comes to understanding our infinite Creator, most of our usual ways of knowing fall short.
History may record facts, and mathematics applies logic. Life itself can feel like a complex jigsaw puzzle. Still, these tools aren’t enough to grasp the depth and mystery of God’s truth. If we rely solely on intellect, we’ll miss what we’re meant to know.
Jesus gave us the key: “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
Abiding in His Word is more than reading Scripture—it means living by it. We do this in two main ways:
- Obeying God’s Word by faith: Trusting His instructions even when we don’t fully understand them.
- Meditating on God’s Word for wisdom: Letting the Holy Spirit illuminate deeper meanings as we reflect slowly and prayerfully—what is known as Lectio Divina.
Reading the Bible gives us knowledge. Meditating on it transforms that knowledge into wisdom. And that wisdom points us to the truth we are meant to know—not just facts, but the Person of Jesus Christ.
As Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” What we dwell on becomes who we are. When we abide in the Word, we don’t just know more—we become more like Christ.
Good morning as we discover what we are truly meant to know.
