Click Here Seeking to Know God Day 216 In today's culture, people are typically unaware of the daily urgency of living for God. It is imperative to choose to live for Christ today because you do not know if you will be given another chance to decide. You do not know what the future holds. The only certainty is that those who surrender their lives to Christ will be given the gift and the hope of a glorious eternal life with Him. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24). If you have already made the decision to commit your life to Christ, where are you in that commitment? Do not be content with a shallow faith and basic biblical knowledge. Delve into the Bible, search the Scriptures, pray powerfully, and listen carefully to what God is longing to teach you. "Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: 'How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you'" (Proverbs 1:20–23). Mighty God, I am not content to continue in my own simple ways. I want to know You as I have never known You before. Amen.
