This morning I started reading J. I. Packer's classic Knowing God. After only 24 pages I'm hooked. I am thrilled at the thought of growing deeper in my knowledge of God and of growing stronger in my relationship with Him.
There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. (p. 17)
What I do not know of God certainly exceeds what I know of God and I want to reduce that gap. I want to grow in my thirst for God that I might grow in my love for and obedience to God. Reading Knowing God will help in that pursuit. It should be an illuminating study.
