“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, ²⁴ but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord” (Jer. 9:23-24).

This was what God spoke through His prophet, Jeremiah. It’s the will of God that every single person has the knowledge of Him and His will.  Almighty God in heaven wants us to learn about Him more than everything else or anything else. Do you think God is more interested in your learning about trees? In your learning about the seasons and the birds, the oceans and technology, medicine, history, literature, and mathematics? Yes, God is interested in whatever you are involved in and you do well in, but what God wants you to increase in knowledge about above everything else, is who He is and how He operates in a person’s life.

Nothing but a true knowledge of God can make a person successful in life. Don’t go for the dictionary’s definition of success. Nothing but a true knowledge of God can make a person successful in life, because knowing Him means that you will know how He operates, and you are consistently seeking His will and direction for your life.  Knowing God intimately will enable you to see things not the way the world sees them but seeing things from God’s viewpoint.  You will understand God’s mind and have knowledge about how God operates in certain situations and circumstances. You will comprehend the way God is up to in your own life. You can distinguish between the world’s wisdom and Godly wisdom and know what God is saying to you. You will have the knowledge of His will and wisdom and understanding in your life. Incredible! It’s so important to know God and know His will for your life.
