[Discoveries] 07-14-08 A sliver of revelation -- 2 Corinthians 2:14

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in 
Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge 
of Him. -- 2 Corinthians 2:14
*/
Where are we in life? Are we troubled? Are we discouraged? Are we 
pressed far beyond our ability to endure (2 Corinthians 1:8-9)? Are we 
bored? Are we distracted?

Only one thing will cut cross ways through all that commands our 
attention and allegiance. Only one thing will free us when everything 
else puts us under the sentence of death.

That one thing is the knowledge of God.

Knowing God is not the same as knowing theology. Knowing God is not the 
same as knowing the Bible.

Since we mortal beings living imperfect lives in a fallen world cannot 
bear the full revelation of God, we only get a sliver. The sliver 
designed for you and the sliver designed for me.

For Richard Wurmbrand it was the sliver that made his solitary prison 
cell glitter like a million diamonds. For the disciples on the stormy 
sea, it was the sliver that said "Peace, be still."

When God reveals Himself to you in your moment of pain or loss or 
drudgery, everything will be transformed.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
