It's Not What But Who You Know...

Do you know He who delights us with awe, indescribableGold and crimson candelabras splashed on vistas, autumnal... Heavens, wild with glints of glory where faith waits sight's recompenseEarth’s sin-ruined Eden roaring with Relentless Evidence... This quote “It’s not what you know but who you know”was mentioned the other day during my ;in regard, to how good connections can be invaluable when undertaking a project!It's so beneficial to know 'the right person who knows the right person for the job' etc.! When Jesus came to this earth He was fully human and fully Godand no matter who we know, no matter how great and talentedand helpful, it never can compare to knowing He who gifts and grants our abilities and talents,and who worked the greatest work of all; our soul-salvation!Do you know Him; the Saviour of the soul,the King of kings and Lord of Lords?Do you long to know Him better?I do, and we can, each time we open His Wordand ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us! Eph.1:17-21I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you (us) the Spirit[] of wisdom and revelation, so that you (we) may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your (our) heart/s may be enlightened in order that you (we) may know the hope to which he has called you, (us)the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ESVIn the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. ESVAnd the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,and we have seen his glory,glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Do you know the One who orders earth’s four-season carouselHe who rends night’s starry heavens with daybreak, unstoppableHe who instills seed-sized kernels with bounty of harvest-hymnHe who created and knows us with a love that will not dim Do you know He who delights us with awe, indescribableGold and crimson candelabras splashed on vistas, autumnalHeavens, wild with glints of glory where faith waits sight's recompenseEarth’s sin-ruined Eden roaring with Relentless Evidence Do you know He who so loved us that He bore the sinner’s rodHe who paid our debt with His blood; the begotten Son of GodHe who shattered Satan’s scheming, bridging death and hell’s dark riftThe Light of the world who longs for all to receive His grace-gift Do you know the One who grants us strength beyond all human scopeHe who is to every mortal, unchanging, immortal hopeHe whose mercy none can fathom, whose compassion none can drainHe whose loving kindness forgives, over and over again Do You know Him;, who is without beginning or end desires to be our FriendHe who stuns the eye with seeing and the ear with nature’s layHe who melts hard hearts, embittered by the troubles of the day Do you know Him, love Him, trust Him, fear , revere, His Holy WordTo You long to know Him better with devotion undeterredDo you fix your eyes on a prize beyond this brief, (grief) broken worldFor someday on clouds of Heaven, all will see unfurled © Janet Martin It was one of those so-beautiful-it-hurt sunrises ...
