According
to God’s word there is nothing more rewarding or more satisfying than using
your mind to focus on your Creator. The Psalmist declares, “Blessed are they
who seek him with all of their heart” (Ps.119:2). Jesus affirmed that the
greatest directive from the Old Testament was a supreme love for God that
included “all of your mind” (Mt.22:37). When you take time to ponder the Triune
God or when you seek to deepen your knowledge of the Almighty, you are engaging
in the primary goal of your existence. The Bible tells us that everything about
your lot in life is strategically designed to get you to do more of just
that! Acts 17 states that the time of your birth and the exact place in
which you live are both sovereignly aimed at getting you to “seek God and reach
out for him” (vv.26-27). And that is not just a “pre-Christian” concern.
There is so much more for us all to know about our transcendent God! Paul’s
prayer for the Philippians was that these growing Christians would “abound more
and more in knowledge and depth of insight” about their God. So today be sure
to engage your mental faculties in the ever-deepening quest of knowing more
about your God.
