Knowledge of God

In my job, I am very knowledgeable.  Yet, in the Bible, I am an infant and know so little.  I want to learn more and gain Biblical knowledge, but how do we do that? 

Let’s consider how long it took you to train to do your job.  How long did it take before you could teach others how to do your job?  With everything, learning takes time.  God wants us to learn more about Him and His ways.

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.

Psalms 25:4

Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees.

Psalms 119:12

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:19

9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. 10. Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”

Deuteronomy 4:9-10

In order to deepen our knowledge, we must read, pray and surround ourselves by other believers who can help challenge our thinking.  The Jewish community values debate and conversation over the Torah, the five books of Moses, to deepen one’s understanding of God’s word.   Often these debates and conversations happen daily in the Jewish community.  We can learn from our Jewish friends and dig into God’s word and keep it close to us daily.
