What Do You Know?


“but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge,” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

“I said to myself, ‘Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.’ And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realised that this also is striving after wind. Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.” Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

“Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you abide in My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.’” John 8:31-32

Knowing more is not as important as knowing what to do with what you do know. God provides so much for us in His Word to help us learn more about who He is and how much He loves us. That is why it is good to spend time in His Word.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

fires and floods; emergency workers and supporters working in Australian natural disasters. Ongoing prayer requests: Marilu –pregnant in hospital, must lay still, on her side for months to save her unborn. God’s hands on new USA political administration. Barb and Gary to find new, satisfying jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for Doris, Michael, David and Adrian. Randy’s family moving to Canada. New work projects for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (healing well) and girlfriend (who’s stayed with him throughout entire ordeal).
