2nd Samuel 7:22. “Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God like thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.” LEARNING GOD. Through thoughts unexpressed in the heart And sights that unfold day by day Through words that sentences start But because of awe unfinished lay Through ears that hear musical sounds And wonder what those sounds really mean Sounds of creation around
Help me learn God who I have never seen.
Watching old saints that know Thee Learning from them reverence and respect Impressions are created within me Are a reminder that I must never neglect Those things God says are eternal For they are the ones that will last Often they are obviously supernal And their impact never will pass.
Learning God goes on through my life daily Some will be learned once, others over again There are things imposed on me privately Others when in a gathering of men I learn God through acts of my children And learn much from the words of my wife Some lessons come to me unbidden Others repeated every day of my life.
I long to know God much better To never be surprised by what He does I read His Word like a letter And from it am made aware that He chose The weak and poor and despised To show forth His glory and grace Every lesson I learn is prized Though unseen I learn God deeply by faith.
“Father, I know Thee better now than before. Give me help to take Thy yoke upon me and learn of Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
