A Little Bit More... Or A Lot

Let us know,

let us press on

   to know the LORD.

His going out is

   sure as the dawn.

He will come to us

   as the spring rains

that water the earth.

          Hosea 6. 3

(No casual glance

      at Scripture

or seeing if going to church

    fits in our schedule.

To know means

to perceive, be aware of,

consider, acknowledge,

recognize, experience personally,

become acquainted with,

by name and face to face,

not just to believe

     but to know.

Press on is an action verb

to pursue, to run after,

aim eagerly to secure,

to follow with

   a desire of one's heart,

an intentional effort,

a daily seeking to know Him

  and realize He is God.)

O LORD,

Keep us from complacency

and fill us with desire

   to know You more.

Open our hearts and eyes

  to pursue and press on

in every circumstance

to know You a little bit more

     .....or a lot.
