Dear Young Christian,

To what degree do you know the Lord? I’m not asking if you know Him as Savior (vital as that is). I am asking, are you developing a deeper relationship with Him day by day?

Eliphaz said to Job, “Acquaint now thyself with Him” (Job 22:21).

Hosea gives the key to developing a better acquaintance with Him by saying, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord” (Hosea 6:3).

The Apostle Paul said, “I know whom I have believed” (2 Timothy 1:12). He also summed up the desire of his Christian life by saying, “That I may know Him” (Philippians 3:10).

The Lord wants our fellowship! He wants us to get to know Him better, and this can only be as we follow close to Him and enjoy His company. Walk with the Lord every day this week. Then look back and see how much your relationship has grown. You will be genuinely surprised.

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
