Experiencing God in Quiet Time

Let me know Your ways, that I may know You.

Ephesians 3:19, NASB

What does it mean to know God? Moses wanted to know God’s ways so he could experience God firsthand. The Hebrew word for “know” in his prayer is yada and implies an actual experience with God, not simply an academic acquiring of facts. God wants you to know Him in your everyday experience of life. Day-by-day, in your quiet time with God, you will learn about His love, His power, His wisdom, His peace, His sovereignty, and more. As you learn these truths, you will trust Him to work in your life. You will talk with Him moment-by-moment. With time, you begin to recognize His presence and power in your own life. This firsthand experience with God is incomparable, and once you have enjoyed His presence, nothing else will come close to satisfying the needs of your heart and soul.

Lord, I long to experience and enjoy Your presence today. Let me know Your ways, that I may know You. Amen.
