Know Yourself
“…that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” Philippians 3:10.
Would you agree that the person we spend the most time with is our self?
So, it’s fair to assume that we also spend a lot of time thinking about ourselves.
I ask you:
Do you really like yourself?
Would you rather be somebody else?
Are you realistic about your strengths and weaknesses?
Socrates gets credit for saying, “
Know thyself,” even though what he really said, was, “the unexamined life is not worth living.”
Either way, the message is clear, and he was right.
Knowing ourselves is a key to a meaningful life.
Let me go a step further.
Since God is your Creator and He knows you better than anyone-
– why don’t you get to know God personally?
John Calvin said, “Man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.”
In getting to know God-
– you will begin to know yourself – the real you – better than you ever could on your own.
God gives us the way to know Him through Jesus and His Word.
If you get to know Him-
– you’ll not only come to know yourself
– you’ll also be on the road to a very meaningful life.
