God wants us to know Him deeply and personally. But there are no shortcuts to God.
"The way to life-to God!-is vigorous and requires total attention."
(Matthew 7:14 The Message)
God has offered us firsthand knowledge of His love His grace and His power. Yet so often we too easily settle for someone else's descriptions the Cliff notes from another's spiritual journey. We are content for "God-experts" to do the heavy lifting and then give us the bottom line. And like any secondhand information after enough times through the grapevine the truth about God deteriorates and crumbs of rumor are all that remain.
But when life derails and things don't go as we had planned our thin view of God is challenged. In those critical moments we can choose to walk away from God or to let our questions lead us home. When we choose to wrestle with God to engage Him for ourselves we-like Jacob and Job and David-will see rumors die and revelation come alive.
It's time to hear the magnificent Divine Invitation. It's time to take God up on His offer and embrace the mystery and majesty of knowing Him for ourselves.
