DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 6 to 7:10; Job 8; Matt. 5:1-20

 

That I might know Him,…    Philippians 3:10

 

The desire to know Him brings the believer to new heights.  Moses desired to know Him (Ex. 33:13) and was put into the cleft of the rock and covered there with His hand. Paul was “caught up to the third heaven” and heard unspeakable things (2 Cor. 12:2). We are called to “comprehend … what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Eph. 3:18-19).    —Tom Steere

It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine!
Lord Jesus! Saviour! Yet this soul of mine,
Would of that love, in all its depth and length,
Its height and breadth, and everlasting strength,
Know more and more. —M. Shekleton
