Hey everyone, welcome to Emmaus Road Podcast.
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:19.120
Our hope is that it can help supplement your daily devotionals and be something meaningful to you that will help deepen your faith with Jesus Christ.
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.480
Now for our host, Michael Jenkinson.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:34.960
The scripture came to me the other day, and it's from Jeremiah, the ninth chapter, the 23rd and the 24th verse.
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:49.039
Thus says the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, and let not the rich man glory in his riches.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:01:09.599
But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.680
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:32.560
The wisdom of the world and the wise, the elites, the intelligentsia, the educated, they glory in their wisdom and in their knowledge.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.480
The mighty man glories in his strength.
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.959
We worship the mighty.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.959
We worship the strong.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:02:13.120
Let not the rich man glory in his riches, our wealth and what we have and what how we want to show it and want other people to know about our wealth and our riches, our rings, our cars, our houses, our clothes.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:36.000
But God says, let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:51.280
We live in a time where people, even Christians, pay lip service to what they know about God, but they don't actually know him.
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.240
And they certainly don't understand him.
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:13.599
I believe if you're going to grow in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and in grace, you are going to have to come to know and understand God.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.639
God is knowable.
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:28.479
He wants to be known, but we have to seek him, to seek his face, and come to know him.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:35.039
Moses said, Teach me your ways, Lord, that I might know you.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.400
So God practices steadfast love and justice in the earth.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.319
Do you notice that that's in the in the present tense?
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.000
God is intimately involved in his creation.
00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:01.840
He's intimately involved in your life and in the life of those around you.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.319
Are you aware of that?
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.080
Do you see it?
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.080
Are you seeking for it?
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:20.800
God says he delights in love and justice and righteousness in the earth where he is practicing those things.
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.399
And he calls us to join him.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:32.079
He allows us to work with him, to be a co-laborer with him.
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:47.600
I think that you will not grow and mature in the faith until you begin to seek God for who he is and to come to know him and understand him.
00:04:48.160 --> 00:05:00.560
Lord, I pray that anyone hearing my voice today will say in his heart, God, I want to know you and I want to understand you.
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.720
Thanks for listening.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.480
