Meditations—points to ponder

You begin to get smart when you acknowledge God for Who He is and fear 

being on the wrong side of Him! Intelligent people recognise that 

their well-being lies in being in harmony with God and what God is doing. 

Knowledge in biblical language never refers only to what we today call

head knowledge, but always to experiential involvement with what is known—

to engagement with. 

Thus when Jesus defines the eternal life that He gives to His People as …

John 17:3 (ESV) — 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

He is speaking of the grace of constant, close interaction with God that Jesus brings into the lives of those who seek and find Him.

Hebrews 11:6 (NRSV) — 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
